Approximately 60 football fans who were mistakenly sold 2026 World Cup tickets for 0 USD due to a website glitch now have seven days to pay the correct price or forfeit their seats.

• FIFA has issued a statement regretting the error and inviting affected fans to complete payment for their reserved tickets.
• The tickets were reportedly for group-stage matches in Toronto.
• This incident occurs amidst an investigation by the Attorneys General of New York and New Jersey into FIFA's dynamic pricing model for the 2026 World Cup.

The Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) has announced it has secured free-to-air rights to broadcast the 2026 FIFA World Cup, potentially allowing millions of Kenyans to watch the tournament without a subscription.

• KBC will broadcast selected matches, not all 104 matches, likely in standard definition.
• To access the broadcasts, viewers will need a DVB-T2 set-top box and an aerial, representing a one-off cost.
• The paid alternative, DStv, offers all matches in high definition across various packages.

Google's Gemini app, which generates music using the Lyria 3 model, has been found to include stock music watermarks in its AI-generated tracks, suggesting potential issues with its training data.

• This issue has been observed in five separate generations of music.
• The AI model appears to have incorporated watermarked audio into its training data, raising copyright concerns in the music industry.
