The broadcast led with President Trump's threats to bomb Oman over its potential role in managing shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, amid the ongoing US-Iran war. Trump also suggested declaring the strait a US territory, while peace negotiations remained stalled. In Gaza, Tony Blair joined fresh talks involving Trump's envoy Jared Kushner, but Israel rejected the US peace plan, and far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir sparked outrage by calling for nightly targeted assassinations of 30 to 40 Palestinians, saying they are 'not even people'.
A vigil in London for former Cambridge professor Jason Arday drew thousands, with friends and MPs calling for a public inquiry after his death following plagiarism allegations and media scrutiny. Severe wildfires devastated homes in Stourbridge and across Wales, with soldiers drafted in to help and firefighters warning of unprecedented scale and inadequate resources. Prime Minister Andy Burnham was embarrassed after exchanging messages with an impostor posing as Trump's chief of staff. The trial began for Dwayne Davis, accused of orchestrating Tupac Shakur's murder, and FIFA's chief operating officer Kevin Lamour was sacked after criticising president Gianni Infantino. Tributes were paid to actress Hayden Panettiere and singer Bonnie Tyler, whose funeral took place in Swansea.
