Pressure mounts on Infantino to quit
Summary
FIFA president Gianni Infantino faces mounting pressure to resign after governing bodies withdraw support for his re-election. Wildfires rage in Greece, while the Danube’s low levels force Hungary to shut down nuclear reactors. The US and Japan coordinated to stabilize the yen, and Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi met with the Red Cross. Additionally, a major Ebola outbreak spreads in the DRC, and pioneering womb surgery saved a baby with external intestines.
