In the West Midlands, the housing secretary visited Stourbridge after wildfires destroyed 19 homes, promising more resources for fire services, while Wessex Water announced its first hosepipe ban in 50 years. The BBC reported that a leading FIFA official was sacked after criticising president Gianni Infantino, and Reform UK unveiled welfare plans requiring long-term benefits claimants to help clean up high streets, with the party's Treasury spokesman unable to say how many would be affected.

Israel said reconstruction in Gaza should begin only after complete disarmament of Hamas, following a meeting between Netanyahu and US envoy Jared Kushner. Thousands gathered in Trafalgar Square to remember academic Jason Arday, found dead on Friday. In Moscow, police detained dozens of supporters of the Yabloko party after it was barred from September's election, and a senior party figure was jailed for 11 years for criticising the war in Ukraine.
The prime minister faces a decision on the Rosebank oil field and Jackdaw gas field after a public consultation ended, with environmentalists and industry at odds. More than a thousand people attended the funeral of singer Bonnie Tyler in Swansea, where she was remembered for her Welsh roots.
