Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Manchester City were found guilty of the majority of 115 alleged breaches of financial rules after an eight-year investigation, BBC Sport learned, with an independent panel reaching a verdict but not yet deciding sanctions; the club said the Premier League process was ongoing and confidential. The charges included inaccurate financial information, player and manager payments, compliance failures and non-cooperation, and the case followed Sheikh Mansour's 2008 takeover, a 2020 UEFA ruling and the 2023 Premier League charges. A sports management professor said the scale was extraordinary and raised competitive-integrity questions, adding that sanctions could include financial penalties, points deductions, suspension or expulsion.
Iran's foreign minister said Iran had given the US a new seven-day proposal through Qatar to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz if conditions were met, including unfreezing assets, waiving oil sanctions and lifting a US naval blockade; a US official told Reuters talks through mediators were positive and constructive. President Trump said the US and China made progress during President Xi's state visit, though a report said there was little substance on AI, trade and Taiwan, and CNN said it was barred from covering Trump's Saturday travel after a judge had ruled a White House ban on three outlets likely unconstitutional. A month after floods in northern Nepal and Tibet killed more than 1,300 people and left thousands missing, Save the Children's Nepal programme director described ongoing trauma among children and heightened risks for girls and women, including violence, abuse, school dropout and early marriage, with shelter and relocation urgent before winter.
Pope Leo was to celebrate Mass for some 600,000 people in central Paris, the high point of his four-day France visit, after warning at UNESCO about artificial intelligence and humanity being taken over by a paradise of machines, and he visited Notre Dame. U2 marked 50 years since forming at Dublin's Mount Temple School with a new album and a concert at the school, where members recalled their first rehearsals and lack of formal training.
