European football's governing body UEFA said it had lost confidence in FIFA President Gianni Infantino after he scrapped a controversial proposal to sell stakes in FIFA competitions, including the World Cup, to private investors. The plan had faced widespread opposition from confederations, and Infantino's own senior advisor resigned. Infantino stated the project had created divisions and would not proceed.
The number of people who died when around 60,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish territory of Ceuta rose to at least 67. Spain's interior minister described the surge as an attack on territorial integrity. The Ukrainian capital Kyiv was hit by a second massive round of Russian missile attacks in 48 hours, killing at least nine people. In Greece, hundreds of firefighters battled wildfires threatening a coastal resort north-west of Athens, with strong winds hampering efforts; the fire had destroyed around 150 homes.
Labour's Bev Craig was elected as the new mayor of Greater Manchester, winning with over 300,000 votes. Reform UK's candidate came second. From today, children under 16 in England can travel for free on most local buses throughout August. A new species of seaweed was identified in Cornwall, living on a maerl bed; it was discovered by a scientist who had been searching for it for 40 years.

Charged quote Bev Craig wins Greater Manchester mayoral by-election
Place first, not party first. You've heard me say that, but that's what we did. The battle to replace him as mayor, Labour's first electoral test since he moved in to number 10. For generations, many communities have felt that Westminster hasn't got them. And now they've got a prime minister who looks and signs like he's backing them.

Charged quote Bev Craig wins Greater Manchester mayoral by-election
And I think, you know, yes, we've got a great relationship. Yes, I'll always put Greater Manchester first and what I argue for. But I think it's an exciting opportunity for the whole country to be able to give power back to people that feel like it's been out of their reach for such a long time. Last night's result was not nearly as close as many had expected.

… I think it's an exciting opportunity for the whole country to be able to give power back to people that feel like it's been out of their reach for such a long time. Last night's result was not nearly as close as many had expected. Reform UK had major success in May's local elections in the North West and it was thought they could put up a realistic challenge to Labour in the mayoral election.

Charged quote Bev Craig wins Greater Manchester mayoral by-election
Reform said Labour's Bev Craig should be worried she didn't win on the first preference votes. I think I'd be disappointed if I was her because I'd have expected to absolutely storm winning on the first round. With the new Prime Minister and all the buzz around that, I think if I were her I'd be a little bit, I can't believe I didn't get that first time round.
