Russia's grain deal exit
Russia has confirmed that it will not extend the Black Sea grain export deal
The UN Secretary General says Russia's decision to exit a grain deal with Ukraine will "strike a blow to people in need everywhere". James Landale, the BBC`s diplomatic correspondent, explains more. Meanwhile Russia has accused Ukraine of carrying out a drone attack on a bridge linking it with Crimea which it occupies. BBC Verify journalist Josh Cheetham gives the latest on the attack.
Extreme weather resulting from a warming climate is "unfortunately becoming the new normal", the World Meteorological Organisation has warned, as areas including of southern Europe, the US and China face extreme heat warnings. We hear voice messages from people experiencing high temperatures.
The heat has caused wild fires to break out in parts of Europe. We hear a conversation between two firefighters in different states in America about what the past few months has been like for them.
And in Kenya our correspondent Dorcas Wangira in Nairobi brings us a story about an investigation linked to a Kenyan cult that practised starvation to "meet Jesus Christ".
