What was reported
A plain summary of each story, built from the channels that covered it.
Electronic Tagging
A National Audit Office report found that nearly 9,000 individuals in England and Wales who should have been fitted with an electronic tag in March were not being monitored. The Ministry of Justice disputed this figure, stating that the number of unmonitored individuals was around 5,000 to 5,500. The report raised concerns about uncertainty over who is being monitored and the efficiency of the electronic monitoring system, particularly as the government plans to expand the use of tags to ease prison overcrowding by releasing more inmates early from September. The Ministry of Justice said it is investing 100 million pounds into the system.

Wildfires
On 10 July 2026, wildfires in southern Spain, particularly in the Andalusia region, resulted in at least 11 deaths according to local authorities.

The fire, which broke out in a small hamlet near the town of Los Galados, spread rapidly to a wooded area. Around 155 firefighters were deployed. The cause is believed to be a broken electrical cable, not arson. The head of the regional emergency services advised residents to stay indoors. The wildfire is described as the most severe of the summer so far, occurring during a heatwave with temperatures around 40 degrees Celsius across southern Europe.
