Clashes in Israel over controversial judicial reform
Police have clashed with protesters in Israel amid huge demonstrations against the government's controversial judicial reform plans.
We're starting this hour in Israel - where police have clashed with protesters amid huge demonstrations against the government's controversial judicial reform plans. It comes after a bill to remove the power of the Supreme Court to review ministers' decisions passed its first reading in parliament on Monday night. The BBC's Middle East correspondent Tom Bateman is at the protests in Tel Aviv.
The BBC itself has been one of the main news stories in the UK in the last few days. That's because a national newspaper has claimed an unnamed male BBC presenter paid for explicit photos from a teenager. We get more details from the BBC's Charlotte Gallagher.
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled in favour of South Africa's double 800 metres Olympic champion Caster Semenya in a case involving testosterone levels in female athletes. We speak to BBC sports journalist Alex Capstick who has followed this story right from the start.
A TikTok video of a fan attempting a stage dive during a rapper's performance at at Openair Frauenfeld festival in Switzerland has gone viral as Rapper Ski Mask the Slump God encouraged the fan to dive but the crowd did not catch the fan in time and he plummeted head-first into the ground. Thankfully, the fan was unhurt. In the past concert attendees have suffered serious injuries - some have been fatal. Earlier we received a message from a musician in Sheffield on what it takes to do a successful stage dive.
