The broadcast first reported that suspected Irish crime boss Daniel Kinahan was being extradited from the United Arab Emirates to Dublin, where he was expected to face charges of directing a criminal organisation. It then covered FIFA's strong defence of its president Gianni Infantino amid criticism over an abandoned plan to sell World Cup stakes and scrutiny of his time at UEFA. Next, the programme detailed overnight strikes between Russia and Ukraine, with Ukrainian President Zelensky reporting injuries in Odessa and Russian authorities reporting deaths in Belgorod, followed by an analysis of Ukraine's drone strategy. The UK also set a new heat record with 35 days above 30 degrees Celsius, prompting health alerts and concerns about drought and farming.
Other stories included Hong Kong recording its highest official temperature since 1884, and Canadian wildfires in British Columbia leading to a state of emergency and thousands of evacuations. In the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu rejected President Trump's Gaza peace plan, Iran warned the Strait of Hormuz would not reopen unless demands were met, and the Houthis claimed a drone attack on a Saudi oil refinery. In UK politics, Prime Minister Andy Burnham planned a national tour focused on the cost of living, while controversy continued over the early release of prisoners.
