Today's episode covers two big political stories linked to the EUROs this summer. First, the investigation into Ukraine's new jersey for the EUROs which featured a somewhat contested map of Ukraine, and political slogans. The second story revolves around Rashford, Sancho, and Saka who received racist abuse on social media following their missed penalties in the EURO final.
