Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced the scrapping of plans to sell stakes in the World Cup to private equity investors, following widespread condemnation from international football bodies including UEFA, which had threatened to boycott the 2030 Men's World Cup. The lead investor was a venture capital firm founded by Joshua Kushner, brother of Jared Kushner. The decision came after a global backlash and mounting pressure, with Infantino stating the proposal had created divisions and would not proceed.
Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on Kyiv, killing at least three people, according to Mayor Vitaly Klitschko. Reports indicated around 20 ballistic missiles were fired, with Ukraine lacking sufficient defences to intercept them. Separately, US President Donald Trump hailed a newly brokered Gaza peace deal as a historic milestone, under which Hamas agreed to a phased disarmament plan in exchange for a ceasefire and gradual Israeli withdrawal. However, skepticism was voiced over the sequencing and terms, with Hamas reportedly agreeing only to partial disarmament of heavy arms after an Israeli withdrawal from 70% of Gaza. Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez blamed trafficking mafias after thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco into Ceuta, with Spanish officials reporting over 48,000 had voluntarily returned to Morocco and at least 57 bodies recovered.
