This is the morning edition of the One News Page Global Briefing, for Monday, the seventh of September, twenty twenty-six. Here is what matters now.

A Boeing seven hundred and sixty-seven-three hundred cargo plane operated by Amazon Air crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday afternoon, killing five people and seriously injuring five others. The aircraft had flown from Puerto Rico and overran the runway while attempting to land, caught fire and struck several vehicles on the ground. Video footage showed thick black smoke rising from the aircraft, which bore the Amazon arrow logo on its tail. The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed the crash, and emergency crews responded to the scene.

In Germany, the Alternative for Germany was projected to win the Saxony-Anhalt state election but fell short of an outright majority. Projections put the far-right, anti-immigration party on about forty-four percent of the vote, far ahead of the conservatives on roughly seventeen percent. The result marks the closest a far-right party has come to holding power at state level in Germany since World War I I. AfD candidate Ulrich Siegmund and party leaders hailed the outcome as historic, though it remained unclear whether the party could form a government.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine, U S envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Kyiv on Sunday for their first visit to the country, a day after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy greeted the negotiators in Sophia Square, in front of Saint Sophia Cathedral, as part of a renewed American push to end the war. The visit came during a three-day pause in Russian strikes on Kyiv announced to coincide with the diplomatic mission. Both sides had said they would halt airstrikes for the visit, though Moscow had not publicly responded to Zelenskyy's earlier call for a halt.

In sport, F I F A has confirmed that president Gianni Infantino will stand for re-election at the seventy-seventh F I F A Congress in Rabat, Morocco, on eighteen March twenty twenty-seven. The fifty-six-year-old has faced pressure to resign, including calls from U E F A, amid continuing controversy over a sell-off plan. Infantino refused to answer questions about his future when asked by reporters at the Women's Under-twenty World Cup in Poland on Saturday, but F I F A later stated that nothing has changed regarding his intention to run.

In the United States, an armed individual lunged at Amy Acton, the Democratic candidate for Ohio governor, during a campaign stop at the Canfield Fair on Sunday. The assailant knocked volunteers to the ground and injured several people before being arrested, according to Acton's campaign. A campaign spokeswoman said multiple people were injured in the incident.

Also in the U.S., the Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to allow restrictions on mail-in voting ahead of November's midterm elections. The filing follows a decision by U S District Court Judge Indira Talwan blocking new limits on such ballots. States have begun sending out mail ballots as the legal fight continues.

Elsewhere, Jamaican delegates have arrived in the United Kingdom to hand King Charles a landmark petition seeking reparations for slavery. The Caribbean nation's culture minister said the petition aims to confront historical crimes that continue to disadvantage former British colonies. The petition will ask the King, as Jamaica's head of state, to refer three questions to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.

In Britain, the government has signalled it will not use taxpayer money to limit job losses at Jaguar Land Rover, which is reportedly planning up to four thousand redundancies. The business secretary is due to hold crunch talks on Tuesday with J L R, union leaders and government officials. The U K's biggest carmaker is struggling with the impact of tariffs, competition from Chinese manufacturers and the fallout from a major cyber attack last year.
