The English Football Association is set to become the latest governing body to withdraw support for Gianni Infantino's bid for re-election as head of Fifa. Wales and Finland have already dropped their support for him. Infantino is under sustained pressure because of his abandoned plan to sell a stake in the World Cup and other tournaments to private investors.

Also in the programme: extreme heat, wildfires and droughts continue to cause havoc across Europe; and the pioneering "horse whisperer" Monty Roberts has died.
