Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced plans to reform the UK social care system, pledging to raise pay for carers and improve training. In an interview, Harry Quilter-Pinner of the Institute for Public Policy Research welcomed the focus on prevention and cross-party talks but noted that funding details remain unclear, suggesting an additional 10 to 15 billion pounds per year may be needed. Separately, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is due to stand trial in December after a judge delayed a hearing related to an alleged incident in Norfolk where a man, Alex Jenkinson, is accused of threatening him; Jenkinson denies the public order offence and a second charge, and a psychiatric assessment is awaited.
Major wildfires continue across Europe, with a blaze in southwest France having consumed an area four times the size of Paris and temperatures expected to reach 40 degrees Celsius. In Spain, some evacuation orders have been lifted as firefighters made progress, but several fires remain out of control and another heatwave is forecast. In football, FIFA announced plans to set up a private company, FIFA Forward Enterprise, to manage commercial rights for the World Cup, seeking a minority stake sale worth $20 billion. The Football Association and UEFA expressed deep concern, while the Czech FA supported the proposal; FIFA has given member nations until September 19th to back the plan, offering a $40 million incentive.

Because the area, the land that we are standing on right now was edging closer to their properties and they didn't know whether they would be falling victim next.
