Summary
The mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, says he will try to become an MP in the Makerfield by-election, which could also pave the way for him to enter Downing Street. There’s confusion over Donald Trump’s plans in Iran and doubt over the stability of the current ceasefire, after the president said his military campaign against the country is "to be continued". Leader of Reform UK, Nigel Farage, is in hot water as the controversy over the £5million donation he received from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne will see him facing a parliamentary standards investigation. There has been a new meningitis outbreak in Reading, with close contacts to those affected being offered medication as a precaution. The lineup for the first ever football World Cup halftime show has been announced - with Shakira, Madonna and K-Pop group BTS, the artists headlining. Ali and Kamali have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
