Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
European football's governing body UEFA has lost confidence in FIFA president Gianni Infantino after he scrapped a controversial plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors. UEFA described the withdrawal as a victory for the whole game and accused Infantino of trying to push through a shabby backroom deal, while CONCACAF called for a comprehensive reckoning with his leadership. The fallout follows threats from international bodies to boycott the 2030 Men's World Cup if the plans had gone ahead.
Renowned mountaineer and former British soldier Nirmal Purja was among ten climbers killed in an avalanche on Broad Peak in Pakistan, according to the expedition company he co-founded. Purja, a record-breaking climber who scaled all 14 of the world's 8,000-metre peaks in six months, was climbing at around 6,600 metres when the avalanche hit. Meanwhile, European Union ministers scheduled emergency talks after more than 50,000 people entered Spain's North African territory of Ceuta from Morocco; the majority have since returned voluntarily, and Spain's interior minister said normality was being resumed. In Ukraine, at least nine people were killed in a second massive wave of Russian missile strikes on Kyiv in 48 hours, and President Zelensky renewed his appeal for urgent air defence deliveries, saying Kyiv had run out of interceptor missiles for its Patriot systems. Russian police reported a blast at a Moscow restaurant that killed three people and wounded 15 others. In Greece, hundreds of firefighters battled wildfires threatening a coastal resort northwest of Athens. Labour's Bev Craig was elected the new mayor of Greater Manchester, winning with a combined total of more than 300,000 votes.
