The High Court in London was set to deliver its judgment in the "dieselgate" class action, the largest ever in England and Wales, involving 1.6 million motorists and allegations that car makers including Mercedes, Ford, Peugeot, Citroen, Renault, and Nissan fitted vehicles with cheat devices to lower emissions readings; all defendants deny wrongdoing. In Spain, four British people were among 12 victims known to have died in the country's worst wildfire in over two decades, which broke out near Los Gallardos in Almeria; a burnt-out car with a right-hand steering wheel led officials to believe the victims could be from the UK, and 19 people remain missing. Meanwhile, the UK faced a third heatwave in as many months, with temperatures reaching 32.9°C in Wiltshire, leading Anglian Water to introduce a hosepipe ban in the east of England, the NHS warning of a "summer onslaught" from heat illness, and the electricity grid operator calling for more power as people use fans and air conditioning.
Sky News understands Thames Valley police plan to speak with the family of Virginia Giuffre as part of their ongoing investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office earlier this year and released on bail. Two brothers, Michael and Anthony Stewart, were jailed for life for the 1984 murder of civil servant Anthony Littler, whom they attacked near an East Finchley tube station because they believed he was gay; they were sentenced to minimum terms of 10 and 15 years respectively. Former Conservative MP and MEP Anne Widdicombe died at age 78; she served as prisons minister and shadow home secretary, and later joined the Brexit Party and Reform UK. The Bayeux Tapestry arrived in the UK for the first time in nearly a thousand years, delivered to the British Museum under high security from France, and will go on display in September. A by-election in Clacton was set for 13 August following Nigel Farage's resignation as MP, with Farage standing again and no main parties contesting the seat; separately, the Metropolitan Police launched a criminal investigation into donations of at least £500,000 to Reform UK from the mother of convicted fraudster George Cottrell. The National Audit Office warned that electronic tagging of convicted criminals is not working as intended, with less than half of those who should have been tagged actually fitted within standard attempts, and thousands of offenders unmonitored; the Ministry of Justice said it is investing in monitoring and probation. Prince Harry launched the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, taking part in events including pickleball and wheelchair rugby, and said the games are about belonging to each other as a family.
