8:30 pm
in new york for a second day. we will be live at the core in manhattan in the moment. sport, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin. thank you very much indeed. to the french open, and novak djokovic is looking in ominous form as he seeks to defend the men's title at roland—garros. he beat roberto carballes baena in straight sets. question marks had surrounded the three—time champion and his form, but he went through the gears to take the first two sets 6—4, 6—1. the third set was wrapped up 6—2 to ensure the world—number—one stayed on course for a record—extending 25th grand slam.
8:31 pm
well, there is always that kind of conviction and belief inside of me that i can win at slam. i mean, that's the reason why i'm still competing at this level. that's why i'm here at this age. i would not be really competing at the slams and continuing to play professional tennis if i did not believe that i possess a quality to go all the way to the title match. alex zverev proved why he's one of the favourites this year. he breezed past david goffin in straight sets to reach the third round. zverev has reached the semifinals in his last three appearances at roland—garros. and in the women's draw, the second—seed aryna sabalenka powered through to the third round after beating moyuka uchijima in straight sets. the belarusian hasn't gone beyond the semifinals at roland garros, but is into the third round without dropping a set so far. she plays paula badosa next, one of her best friends on the tour. it's always tough to play your friend, your best friend on tour. it's always tough, but we know how
8:32 pm
to manage that, we know how to separate court and life. so it's always great to fight against her, and i always enjoy playing against her. so we are good to separate things. the fourth—seed elena rybakina is also through after a solid straight—sets win over arantxa rus. the kazakh came through 6—3, 6—4 and will play elise mertens in the third round. england's men are just getting under way in their chase against pakistan, in the final t20 taking place at the oval and will be confident of clinching an outright series win. england won the toss and chose to bowl, with rain affecting the match a little in south london. they bowled pakistan all out for 157 just inside their 20 overs. jofra archer among the wickets as england chase a 2—0 series win. they're 1—0 up in the four—match series. the t20 world cup starts this weekend in the usa and west indies. the us women's open is under way,
8:33 pm
and it's been a disastrous start for world—number—one nelly korda. the american was the red—hot favourite going into the second major of the year. she'd won six of her last seven tournaments but carded a ten on the par—three 12th hole leading to a round of 80, which is ten shots over par! this is the leaderboard. former amateur world—number—one andrea lee has the clubhouse lead at i—under, with tough conditions in pennsylvania catching plenty of players out so far. the new bayern munich head coach, vincent kompany, says he's isn't worried about not being the club's first choice to take charge. kompany�*s move from burnley, who got relegated from the premier league, to take over at one of the biggest clubs in the world football shocked many, but not the man himself. the aspect of being surprised is because you assume that it was the only club that called and you assume that it was the only interest i had. and you only assume that because i'm very private.
8:34 pm
by that time, i was not surprised. i live myjob honestly too intense to speculate too much or to make any decisions whatsoever. the opportunity there was to work with great people, that's why i signed. cristiano ronaldo added yet another record to his collection as he set a new high for goals scored in a saudi pro league season. the 39—year—old struck twice in al—nassr�*s 4—2 victory over al—ittihad to take his total to 35, eclipsing abderrazak hamdallah's 3a from 2018—19. before playing his football in saudi arabia, ronaldo was named world player of the year five times. and that's all the sport for now. back with more later on. we will see you then. thanks very much, gavin. the waiting game continues for a verdict in the hush money trial of donald trump. after a short return to the courtroom earlier to rehear some clarifications on some key testimony, the jury has continued its deliberations.
8:35 pm
in court, thejurors were read testimony from two key witnesses about meetings with mr trump — his ex—lawyer and fixer michael cohen and the former publisher of a tabloid newspaper, david pecker. the tesimonies of both are seen as key parts of the prosecution's case. just five months away from the presidential election, mr trump is facing 3a counts of falsifying business records allegedly to cover up a hush money payment to adult film star stormy daniels in the final weeks of the 2016 election. he denies the charges. this is one of a number of cases he is facing. let's hear some of what he had to say as he arrived. it's a disgrace the millions and millions of dollars they've spent daily on this case. outside it looks like it's fort knox, like they're guarding this... i've never seen so many policemen.

this is the context. if you're a social media user, you might have seen this image in your feeds this week. it's an ai—generated image with the words "all eyes on rafah". the image depicts densely—packed rows of tents stretching endlessly across a desert landscape overshadowed by mountains, alluding to the hundreds of thousands of palestinians who fled there during israel's military campaign against hamas. it's designed to raise awareness of what happened after a deadly israeli strike at a camp for displaced palestinians in rafah at the weekend and to highlight the tens of thousands who've been killed in gaza and the continued suffering hundreds of thousands of others.
8:46 pm
so far, the post has shared by more than 44 million instagram accounts since monday. in response to the "all eyes on rafah" viral post, pro—israeli supporters have released this image. it reads "where were your eyes on october 7th?", referencing the hamas attack and the hostages who were killed or have been held since that day. hopefully we will be able to show you that second image as well in a moment. we can now speak to taylor lorenz, who's a columnist for the washington post covering technology and online culture. there is a huge, huge number of people who have shared this all eyes

being performative and what is concerning especially for those who care about getting images and information out about what's actually going on in rafah and gaza is that this image is crowding out images and information from actual journalists on the ground. but at the same time, it is a lot of people that he felt uncomfortable weighing in maybe don't want to post something graphic on their own feet away to voice their support. band away to voice their support. and so would ou away to voice their support. and so would you say _ away to voice their support. and so would you say this _ away to voice their support. and so would you say this is _ away to voice their support. and so would you say this is overall a - away to voice their support. and so would you say this is overall a wayl would you say this is overall a way of raising awareness or would you say this is a way of sort of desensitizing people to what is happening on the ground? i think it's both. happening on the ground? i think it's both- l— happening on the ground? i think it's both. | think _ happening on the ground? i think it's both. | think it's _ happening on the ground? i think it's both. i think it's really - it's both. i think it's really important to talk about the horrific events that happened. it's honestly just a horrible tragedy was of the footage from the ground is largely graphic but there are less graphic imagery that could be used. i do think it's sanitising and confusing
8:49 pm
everyone. people are saying is this what gaza looks like? what is this weird snowy mountain range? what is happening and again so we cannot evenif happening and again so we cannot even if with this is al. meta has not labelled it is al. so proactively it's a bit of a mix. band proactively it's a bit of a mix. and that is proactively it's a bit of a mix. and that is the — proactively it's a bit of a mix. and that is the concern _ proactively it's a bit of a mix. and that is the concern more broadly with al and we talk about it a lot here on the programme is that it has the ability to make things that are not real look real?— the ability to make things that are not real look real? exactly. i mean i 'ust not real look real? exactly. i mean ljust found — not real look real? exactly. i mean ljust found in _ not real look real? exactly. i mean ijust found in a _ not real look real? exactly. i mean ijust found in a i _ not real look real? exactly. i mean i just found in a i generated - not real look real? exactly. i mean ijust found in a i generated image| ijust found in a i generated image of princess diana earlier. things look very realistic and when he risked a to your feet super quickly, you are not always aware of looking twice, examining the image and being that that is not quite add up. so i think we need these platforms to take better steps to proactively label this content. {lilia take better steps to proactively label this content.— take better steps to proactively label this content. 0k, thank you so much, label this content. 0k, thank you so much. taylor. _ label this content. 0k, thank you so much, taylor, putting _ label this content. ok, thank you so much, taylor, putting us— label this content. 0k, thank you so much, taylor, putting us through i much, taylor, putting us through that and as we were saying their it's the most shared ai generated
8:50 pm
image there. and of course those behind it hope it raises awareness to what is happening in rafah. as we have been saying throughout the week here on the programme... this is the year of elections it seems, and there's another one we're watching here on the context. that's the vote for the european parliament. campaigning is under way across europe, with new meps being chosen between the 6th—9th ofjune. all 27 of the member states of the european union will vote for the 720 seats that are up for grabs. far—right parties are expected to make big gains, having already won an election in the netherlands and a stake in the governments of finland and slovakia. in italy, prime minister giorgia meloni is topping the polls. the ruling party brothers of italy has roots in postwar fascism, but has moderated in office. our rome correspondent mark lowen reports. chanting.
8:51 pm
milan 2024, not 1924. a rally for a far—right student killed almost 50 years ago by the far left. the violence between the two sides has ended, but in italy, the birthplace of fascism, symbols, slogans, supporters live on. this might seem extraordinary, but the thing is, in italy it isn't. these kinds of demonstrations with the fascist salutes happen across the country year in, year out. some of the images associated with the dark chapters of italy's past still infuse the present. from a funeral, to a birthday party, fringe extreme groups like forza nuova operate here. they often blend with
8:52 pm
die—hard football fans. a senior member at this celebration shouts, "who paid for this evening? who gave it to us?" adolf hitler! prompting the chant, "we're a beautiful team in the shape of a swastika. how great it is to be trained by deputy fuhrer rudolf hess." the party's leader denies nazi sympathies, but... are you a fascist? if you ask me like that, i probably would say yes. but i have to complete the term and say i'm a revolutionary. this was a regime that deported jews to death camps, that outlawed the opposition, that put political opponents in internment camps. are you denying that the fascist regime was violent and criminal? yes, absolutely, i deny it. the internment camps are things that happened with the war. the americans did it, the germans did it,
8:53 pm
the italians did it, and so on. no government has cracked down, but some think giorgia meloni is even less likely to. she began in the neo—fascist youth... ..calling wartime dictator benito mussolini a good politician. she's now moved her party away from the far right and is set to make sweeping gains in the european elections, a figurehead for europe's other right—wingers. but critics say she still winks at her roots. journalist paolo berizzi has lived under police protection for the past five years after neofascist threats. translation: the far-right - and neofascist groups felt validated with the meloni government - because battles and slogans that had been kept on the political sidelines for years- suddenly became legitimised. giorgia meloni doesn't define herself as anti—fascist. - when you cannot do so in a republic born from anti—fascism, _
8:54 pm
it means you have a problem. her supporters say the destruction wrought by the anti—fascist movement over the decades is why she won't use that label. being anti—fascist during the fascism was a very brave act, brave of freedom, brave for democracy. but after the falling of the fascism, being anti—fascist means violence, means a lot of young students killed. we condemn the fascism, but more than this is an obsession. so italy's past echoes into its modern day. the line between historical tribute and glorification of crimes blurred. and some fear what was once considered extreme is now mainstream. mark lowen, bbc news, rome.
8:55 pm
you can watch mark's full documentary out of the shadows — awakening italy's past on the bbc news channel, and here in the uk, it'll be on iplayer from saturday. to bit a development we want to bring you up—to—date with. we are hearing the ap siding american officials sayjoe biden has partially lifted a ban on ukraine using us arms and strikes on russian territory to defend kharkiv. more on that and the next hour. also hearing the prime minister of slovakia has been released from the hospital and he had been of course recovering from an assassination attempt on the 15th of may. more on those stories in the next hour. this is the context. hello there. today, we've seen a mixture of sunshine and showers, a familiar mix, but fewer showers
8:56 pm
are mostly focused on south—eastern parts of england. other eastern areas of england, though, seeing a spell of rain just for a while. that may well tend to move away temporarily. and it is going to be turning drier over the next few days as high pressure noses in from the atlantic, but we've still got that northerly wind overnight. it will bring more cloud to eastern parts of england and we'll see a bit more rain arriving later on in the night as well. further west, though, we're going to have clearer skies and lighter winds, a few short lived mist and fog patches by the end of the night and a little bit cooler where we have the clearer skies. temperatures in scotland could be down to six or seven degrees. still some cloud, though, coming in on that northerly breeze for eastern england into the midlands and may well bring with it some rain or some showers. those becoming confined to the southeast of england in the afternoon. other areas may brighten up a bit, but it's further west and further north that will have the best of the sunshine light winds as well — a very pleasant day. if anything, it's going to be a bit warmer than today. so we'll see temperatures in the sunshine getting up to 20 or 21 celsius.
8:57 pm
again, a bit coolerfor some eastern areas of england, perhaps as it will be for saturday. there's our area of high pressure. the winds are falling lighter. even across eastern parts of england, still a northerly breeze, so maybe one or two showers here. not very many, many places will be dry, and again, we've got the sunnier skies closer to the high to the north and west of the uk, and those temperatures again reaching 20 or 21 celsius, a little bit cooler around some eastern parts of england. but temperatures are going to rise here the second half of the weekend — a change of fortunes to come. the high pressure is never quite making it to the uk. it's getting squeezed on sunday and all this cloud is coming in from the atlantic around the top of the high that will be working its way into much of scotland. northern ireland eventually bring a little rain into the far northwest, but we've still got some sunshine for england and wales and a sunny a day with lighter winds across east anglia in the south east means it's going to be warmer here as well. temperatures are going to peak at 22 or 23 degrees. still quite warm in the sunshine for eastern scotland, cooler in western scotland
8:58 pm
with the cloud and things are going to change a bit as we head into next week. there's some rain in the forecast mainly for northern areas of the uk. further south, it's looking generally dry still and, if anything, still quite warm as well.

hello, i'm rajini vaidyanathan. you're watching the context on bbc news.

it's a disgrace the millions and millions of dollars they've spent daily on this case. outside, it looks like it's fort knox, like they guarding this... i've never seen so many policemen. it's anyone's guess how long it will take for the jury of seven men and five women, ordinary new yorkers of diverse backgrounds, to potentially reach a verdict. the complexity really- is more a matter of trying to connect the dots factually, . and trying to understand what it means to know about something, what it means to intend to do- something, particularly| when there is this other crime floating out there. joining us this week is mary—anne marsh, democratic strategist and lanhee chen, republican former domestic and foreign policy adviser to governor mitt romney
