Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The English and Welsh football associations have withdrawn their support for FIFA president Gianni Infantino following his failed plan to sell a stake in future World Cup profits. UEFA is threatening legal action, and Infantino is reportedly seeking support from the White House. Separately, a 35-year-old man has been arrested after a nine-year-old girl was found seriously injured at an industrial estate in Arbroath, Angus; she later died in hospital, and police are treating the death as suspicious.
Nigel Farage has admitted he was in negotiations about returning to politics in March and April 2024, around the time he received a five million pound gift that he did not declare to parliamentary authorities. Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice is also under investigation by the parliamentary standards commissioner for allegedly failing to declare an interest. Nearly all of Italy's major cities are on the highest red alert for high temperatures amid a heatwave, while wildfires continue in Greece and Washington State, where 60,000 people have been evacuated. In the UK, amber heat health alerts have been issued for parts of England, and July was the driest month on record for England and Wales.
Ariana Grande has withdrawn from a planned production of Sunday in the Park with George at the Barbican, citing endless ongoing public scrutiny. New research from the charity Sense finds that more than 61,000 disabled children in England live in areas with no holiday club provision, leading to calls for a national framework. Finally, the dry summer has revealed the outline of a 17th-century formal garden hidden under the lawn at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.
