Donald Trump promised a $5,000 dividend to every American adult if Republicans win majorities in the upcoming midterm elections, a proposal his critics described as buying votes while the White House said it would let Americans share in the country's wealth. In the UK, hospitality bosses criticised government plans to give English mayors the power to introduce a tourist tax on overnight stays, with industry leaders warning of significant job losses and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch rejecting the idea, while the health and social care minister defended it as a local decision.
A Sky News investigation reported allegations of infighting and bullying at Durham County Council, which came under Reform control in May 2025, with whistleblowers describing a hostile environment. The funeral of PC Tom Clough, who died alongside his colleague PC Matthew Blades in a head-on crash on the A66, was set to take place in Redcar, with his family and police colleagues paying tribute to his service. Ryanair's chief executive Michael O'Leary called for the resignation of National Air Traffic Services boss Martin Rolfe after technical issues led to more than 2,000 flight cancellations, saying the system had failed repeatedly.
Other news included nine deaths from Ukraine's deepest strikes into Russia, which hit an oil refinery and a seaport, and Ukrainian President Zelensky visiting Canada for military support. Five people died and over 80 were missing after a ferry fire in the Philippines, and August tied as the world's joint hottest month on record, with drought conditions in parts of Europe. The Bayeux Tapestry went on public display at the British Museum for the first time in nearly 1,000 years. Sky News also launched its Defence Insider app, featuring an interview with Defence Secretary Wes Streeting, who said the Russian threat was real and that Moscow saw Britain and NATO as a threat that did not exist.
