Kenya protests

Police in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, have used tear gas and water canon against protesters opposed to a finance bill that would introduce new taxes. A number of people have been arrested. Earlier the government announced a partial climbdown, scrapping some of the taxes. We speak to our correspondent in Nairobi and hear from some of the protesters.

A new report warns that hot weather could be very uncomfortable, and potentially lethal, for athletes taking part in the Paris Olympics. We speak to BBC Weather and hear from India's best-ever triathlete, who has already had to re-locate from her home country because of the intense heat.

We continue to hear conversations about military service; today we hear from three conscientious objectors in Finland, Thailand and Israel.

Christiano Ronaldo begins his record sixth European Championship when Portugal take on the Czech Republic tonight. We ask fans whether they think Ronaldo is irreplaceable or a growing burden.
