UK hosting Eurovision for Ukraine

Liverpool is hosting, as the war in Ukraine means last year's winners are not able to.

Liverpool is hosting the Eurovision Song Contest, as the war in Ukraine means last year's winners are not able to. Ukrainians who have travelled tell us about the atmosphere and what the competition means to them.

Daniel Penny, a former US Marine has turned himself into authorities and will be charged with manslaughter after he placed a fellow passenger in a fatal chokehold on the New York subway. His lawyers said he could not have known his actions to subdue Jordan Neely would lead to his death. We get the latest from our reporter.

And the US ambassador to South Africa has accused the country of supplying weapons to Russia despite its professed neutrality in the war in Ukraine. We speak to our correspondent about the details.
