UK media on July 31 continued its extensive coverage of the air traffic control disruption that began the previous day, reporting thousands stranded and flight chaos persisting through the morning. Concurrently, international attention remained on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Early reports noted Arab nations urging Hamas to disarm. By mid-morning, focus shifted to Canada's move to recognize a Palestinian state and President Trump's subsequent threats of trade deal retaliation. This diplomatic activity evolved through the afternoon with a US envoy's arrival in Israel, discussions with Netanyahu, and a planned visit to Gaza to assess the humanitarian situation and aid-seeking casualties. Domestically, the funeral of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne emerged as a prominent narrative from early afternoon, with national newspapers detailing star attendance. Late in the day, Trump's broader tariff increases also gained traction.
