Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Manchester City's chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, said he was confident of proving the club's innocence after reports it had breached more than 100 Premier League financial rules. He wrote an open letter to fans following a four-year investigation into breaches spanning nine seasons. The club strongly denies the charges, and if it loses the case it could face a huge fine or expulsion from the league.
Six people, including a British national, died in an explosion that destroyed a building in central Athens. Four American holidaymakers also died, along with an elderly Greek couple who lived there. In Spain, a 28-year-old British man died after falling 200 feet while descending a mountain in the north of the country; he fell down a vertical gully in the Cantabrian Mountains on Thursday, and a helicopter rescue team recovered his body.
Pope Leo XIV held an outdoor mass at Paris' Place de la Concorde in front of hundreds of thousands of people, with the Vatican estimating around 700,000 gathered on the second day of his visit to France. Prince Harry took part in a charity skydive in Canada, fulfilling a promise made to a 101-year-old war veteran. He made the jump in Toronto to raise money for military charities and promote the Invictus Games coming to Birmingham in 2027, and said he and his family had been happy since swapping California for the Cotswolds.
