Athletes urge IOC to prioritise climate

More than 400 athletes from nearly 90 countries have called on the next president of the International Olympic Committee to make tackling climate change their top priority. In an open letter, the athletes said that rising temperatures were disrupting schedules and affecting the health of Olympians and fans. We speak to our climate change expert and hear from athletes.

President Zelensky has said Russia is trying to complicate talks on a ceasefire with Ukraine because it wants diplomacy to break down and the war to continue. President Trump has said there is "a good chance" the Ukraine war can come to an end. We speak to our Washington correspondent and bring live a press conference by the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Former Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte has appeared remotely before the International Criminal Court in the Hague, accused of crimes against humanity. Our correspondent in the Hague explains. We also hear from Duterte's supporters and from a woman who says her brother was one of the many thousands killed as part of Duterte's war on drugs.
