Counter-terrorism police are leading the investigation into the death of former Conservative minister Ann Widdecombe, after new information and evidence came to light. A 28-year-old man from Rotherham, previously arrested on suspicion of murder, has been re-arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences. The Home Secretary called it a dark day in political life and raised concerns about the safety of those in public life. Separately, 12 people have been arrested by counter-terrorism police in connection with an alleged right-wing terror threat to an Islamic event at Shrubland Hall in Suffolk, which was brought to a close early as a precaution.
Firefighters are tackling multiple wildfires across the UK, including a blaze near Conwy Mountain in North Wales that forced dozens of homes to be evacuated, and a fire in the Peak District where a 20-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of arson. A new study suggests more than 2,500 people may have died in England and Wales in the last two months as a result of heatwaves. In Spain, 13 people, including three Britons, have died in one of the country's deadliest wildfires; a British man described how his wife and neighbours tried to escape on foot but did not survive. President Trump announced he is reinstating the US blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz and imposing a 20% charge on cargo, while the UK banned the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Scientists at Oxford University have created a vaccine against the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola and are seeking volunteers for human trials. Around a million young people across the UK are to be offered a meningitis B vaccine following an outbreak. Tourist attractions including Chester Zoo held talks with the Met Office about the use of single weather icons in forecasts. The Hollywood actor Sam Neill, known for Jurassic Park, has died at the age of 78. England's football team is preparing for their World Cup semi-final against Argentina. In the West, a new NHS dentist opened in Somerset, but officials noted a significant dental need in the area.
