Police are appealing for more potential victims of serial sex offender Simon Levy to come forward after his conviction for double murder and rape. The 40-year-old was on bail and being monitored when he committed the offences, and both the Metropolitan Police and British Transport Police say they believe there may be other victims. London's Victims Commissioner, Andrea Simon, said she was appalled by the litany of failures in the case and called for every critical opportunity to intervene to be freshly assessed. Separately, FIFA president Gianni Infantino has denied allegations published by the Daily Telegraph that UEFA paid off a woman described as his lover when he was general secretary. FIFA says the claim is categorically untrue, while UEFA says a standard departure payment was made to the employee. In Ukraine, three people including a child were killed in Russian missile attacks near Kyiv overnight, and Ukraine's military said its drones struck two Russian oil refineries. President Zelensky was visiting Serbia, a traditional Russian ally, for the first time.
Counter-terrorism police investigating the killing of former Conservative minister Ann Widdecombe have reopened an inquiry into an attempted burglary at a property used by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. The BBC understands the incident involved a lit incendiary device pushed through his letterbox, and police have made a mandatory referral to the watchdog IOPC over their handling of the initial investigation. Spain has introduced temporary border checks on travellers from Italy, mirroring Italy's earlier move against Spain, after a surge of migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. The dispute has exposed a serious division within Europe over migration. Finally, a mother from Staffordshire who lost her 12-year-old son to brain cancer has backed swimmer Archie Goodburn's campaign for more research funding. The prime minister promised to meet Goodburn after his emotional appeal on BBC Breakfast, and the mother, Julie Parton, said the meeting showed he was taking the issue seriously.
