Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Millions of households are facing a hosepipe ban as Britain braces for another heatwave. Southern Water customers in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight will be banned from watering gardens and filling paddling pools from the 10th of July, with South East Water also imposing restrictions in Kent from today. England's footballers will spend only one day acclimatising to altitude ahead of their World Cup last-16 match against Mexico, which takes place early on Monday morning at the Azteca Stadium, where the Three Lions return for the first time since Diego Maradona's Hand of God goal knocked them out 40 years ago.
The NHS is to start giving people rewards for doing exercise, with NHS England launching a marathon a month challenge from early next year that asks people to walk for around 30 minutes a day. Users can log their walks online or via phone or smartwatch and may become eligible for incentives and discounts. Preparations are also being made for the wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, with police briefings in New York suggesting it will take place at Madison Square Garden tonight, though no official details have been made public and speculation has built to a frenzy.
