Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Sky News understands the English FA will withdraw support for FIFA president Gianni Infantino's re-election, following Wales becoming the first nation to drop its backing. The move is part of a concerted effort in European football to remove Infantino after criticism over his attempt to sell off stakes in the World Cup. Reform UK has pledged to use the Royal Navy to stop small boat crossings under a plan called Operation Fortress, which would deploy vessels to return boats to France or Belgium; the energy secretary Ed Miliband said the government's approach is working and crossings are down by 50%. US President Donald Trump says negotiations with Iran will begin after calling off strikes, but Iranian officials denied talks are planned, stating their discussions are with Oman regarding shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Heat health alerts have been issued for most of England as temperatures are forecast to reach the mid 30s, and the National Farmers Union warned that prolonged dry weather could cause food shortages, with yields already a third lower in some areas. In Greece, emergency services are battling wildfires west of Athens. Other news includes an investigation into Reform UK's deputy leader Richard Tice by the parliamentary standards watchdog, the arrest of a 35-year-old man after a nine-year-old girl was found dead at an industrial estate in Arbroath, a man jailed for keeping his mother's body in a freezer for nearly three years while claiming her benefits, and convicted fraudster Pamela Gwinnett having two months added to her sentence after Sky News tracked her down in Tenerife.
