In tech and business Meta has paused its Model Capability Initiative after discovering that sensitive employee data collected for AI training was accessible across the company. The program had recorded keystrokes, mouse activity, and sometimes screen content from U.S.-based workers. In the UK, StubHub has been fined nearly £900,000 and ordered to refund more than 50,000 fans after regulators said it failed to show the full ticket price at booking. Rival reseller Viagogo is still under investigation. In Europe Spain is bracing for a heatwave, with five provinces under red alert as temperatures near 40 degrees Celsius. Dozens of councils have cancelled San Juan bonfires over wildfire fears. A separate climate analysis warns the UK could face longer and more frequent extreme summer heatwaves by 2052 if current warming trends continue. The European Union is also preparing to meet Taliban officials in Brussels to discuss migration, with deportations of Afghans who do not have the right to stay in Europe expected to be on the table. In public safety Montreal police say officer Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, 34, was killed in a shooting along with a civilian. In court Barrie Drewitt-Barlow and his husband Scott appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court facing expanded charges that now include rape, child sex offences, sexual assault, and modern slavery trafficking for sexual exploitation. Essex Police have brought 18 charges in total. Both men remain in custody, and the Football Association has suspended them from football-related activity while the case continues.
