FIFA has scrapped its plans to sell a stake in the World Cup after a global backlash. President Gianni Infantino conceded the proposal was untenable, with UEFA threatening boycotts. The plan had been overseen by Joshua Kushner, and senior advisor Carlos Cordeiro resigned in protest. Infantino's future as president remains uncertain.
Spain reported that nearly all of the 60,000 migrants who crossed into Ceuta from Morocco over 48 hours have been turned back, with at least 67 deaths. The Spanish Interior Minister stated that the situation has been handled and normality is returning, while announcing a maritime border. Italy suspended its open border travel arrangements with Spain, and protests occurred in Madrid.
In other news, Moscow launched missiles and drones on Kyiv, killing at least nine. Police released ransom notes from the kidnapping of Savannah Guthrie's mother. A Turkish man was arrested in the UK on charges of financing Hamas. A teenage rape victim told Sky News she felt sick after her attacker received a community order instead of prison, and she wants to meet Prime Minister Andy Burnham to discuss the law.
