Ukraine: New evidence in dam breach

More evidence is emerging that the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine was deliberately blown up.

Scientists say there's evidence of a significant explosion in the area of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine at the same time that it was breached. Our colleague from BBC Verify explains what more we know about the breach.

We bring details of an exclusive interview by the BBC with Russian air force lieutenant Dmitry Mishov, who escaped on foot from Russia across the border into Lithuania.

Major US east coast cities are experiencing some relief on Friday from smoke caused by Canadian wildfires as the haze travels south. We hear from people in North America what it has been like for them.

We get an explainer of why, according to a new report, there are far more people in India with diabetes than previously thought.

Scientists who've carried out studies in mice and other animals have found that taurine could help to slow the ageing process. We find out about the study and speak to people who are actively trying to achieve life extension.
