medals in the ganges as part of an ongoing protest against sexual harassment. and crtics praise the perfect, brutal finale of succession. sara barronjoins me live — she hosts a succession podcast — and watched the final episode with the writer and creator. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's sarah mulkerrins. hello from the bbc sport centre. let's start at roland garros on day three of the french open, where the men's world number two, daniil medvedev is facing a battle on the phillipe chatrier court,he lost the first set on a tie break to brazillian qualifier thiago seyboth wild and was pushed all the way again to a tie break

in the second, which the russian won. medvedev has not had the best history at the french open, he lost in the opening round on all of his first four visits to roland garros. earlier the women's seventh seed ons jabeur reached the second round. she reached two grand slam finals last year and showed few signs of her reent calf injuries against the italian lucia bronzetti. she won in straight sets 6—4, 6—1. last year's runner—up coco gauff recovered from losing the first set against spain's rebeka masarova. the american sixth seed battled back to take it 3-6, 6-1, 6-2. italian football authorities say they have reached a settlement withjuventus in a case over alleged irregularities in the club's payment of players�* salaries.

based on the agreement, juventus will pay a fine of 718,000 euro and stop any appeals in ongoing sport cases. the deal comes after the club were docked ten points earlier this year over a separate case on player transfer accounting — and it doesn't include any further point deductions. triple 0lympic swimming champion adam peaty has opened up about the mental health struggles he's been going through, telling the bbc that more gold medals will not solve his problems. last month he pulled out of the british championships, saying he was tired and had been in a "self—destructive spiral." he remains hopeful of heading to paris for the olympics next year, but now has a different persective on winning. you think it will fix all of your problems. if i win a gold medal it will fix all of your problems, but it doesn't even do one of those things. that is when people don't have a healthy relationship with themselves.

i was on the search for a gold medal or a world record and i looked into the future and thought, if i do get that some is my life any better? no. everything comes at a cost and that might be missing those experiences as a human, as a person. it has been kind of a whirlwind, and again it comes back to where the juice is worth the squeeze. england are preparing for theirfirst test match of the summer. they face ireland at lord's on thursday ahead of the ashes series against australia later this month. there are a number of injury concerns in the england camp— especially among the bowlers. that's created a space for chris woakes to return to the squad. you want your main guy is fairly fresh and fully fit so i've been potentially called in because of

that but i'm just grateful to be part of the squad. i had my injuries last summer so i'm just thinking, from a selfish point of view it is great to be here and greatly wearing the england whites again. now finally, you know the feeling when you're looking for something and it's right under your nose. that's exactly what happened los angeles angels baseman luis rengifo, top of your screen here, in their game againt the chicago white sox. here, in their game againt looking for the ball, seemingly forever, shouts of "it's right there" from his team mates. then finally, he clocks it! and that's all the sport for now.

our top story — russia's capital moscow has been hit in rare drone attacks, with several buildings damaged after air defences shot them down. the russian defence ministry says kyiv staged "a terrorist attack" using eight drones — a claim denied by ukraine. it follows an attack on kyiv, with ukrainian officials saying more than 20 drones had been destroyed. one person was killed in what was the seventeenth attack on kyiv since the start of may. now on verified live, ourjournalists have been hard at work, investigating the details of those drone attacks across moscow. with the latest, here's our data journalist from bbc verify, daniele palumbo. as of this morning, moscow has been under a significant drone attack.

probably the first time we have seen so many drones active in operation in a single day. bbc verify has started to gather a lot of footage directly from twitter and telegram channels, both ukrainian and russian sides, to actually understand what is the whole picture. and this is actually a map of moscow, and we were actually able to map the videos that we identified. russian media now talk about 19 and 32 drones in total. the ministry, the russian ministry of defence talk only about eight. however, most of these drones have been neutralised by russian missile defense. the three actually that have been on target are these three and most of them were on the suburbs of the capital city and especially one outside moscow, more like in the region of the capital. however, there has been a lot of speculation also about the drone use itself. and let's have a look at this

footage we were able to verify. there has been a lot of speculation around the drone that has been used. many on twitter actually claim that it is a ukrainian drone. however, for several reasons, we don't think that. we spoke with several engineer experts and the shape of this drone actually allows them to fly much further and to be more aerodynamic. bbc verify is still on the hunt for more details, especially for this type of drone attacks in moscow. and we will bring to you more updates. for more on this, let's cross to the newsroom and talk to our world affairs editorjohn simpson. there have been so many developments today. your take on these attacks on

moscow? the today. your take on these attacks on moscow? ,, ., today. your take on these attacks on moscow? , , ., , , today. your take on these attacks on moscow? , , . , , ., moscow? the russia experts that i have been talking _ moscow? the russia experts that i have been talking to _ moscow? the russia experts that i have been talking to and _ moscow? the russia experts that i have been talking to and listening | have been talking to and listening to say that this kind of thing is starting to change the game. early on, the kremlin, mr putin himself and also other top figures assured the russian figures that ukraine wouldn't hit them in any depth. well, here we are and the centre of russia, the centre of moscow is coming under attack. not very heavy attack, these are not, this is not a major bombing campaign but it is a pinprick attack which simply, the ukrainians, i'm sure, feel will point up the inadequacies and vulnerabilities of the russian system. the ukrainians are really

going very quiet about whether they are responsible but there is also a slight glint in their eyes, a sort of nudge nudge effect. 0ne senior official said just a couple of hours ago, we are enjoying this but we are not responsible. it's not clear that this is the case and the kremlin is saying that it is ultra hypocritical of the west to be supporting ukraine when the west has been promising russia that it wouldn't allow ukraine to use long—distance weapons inside russia. and these are long—distance weapons, they may not

be big and the other more mysterious types that were being used but nevertheless, it's all attacks that sense that the kremlin can defend russia completely. find sense that the kremlin can defend russia completely.— sense that the kremlin can defend russia completely. and we wait for the s-urin russia completely. and we wait for the spring offensive, _ russia completely. and we wait for the spring offensive, but _ russia completely. and we wait for the spring offensive, but these - the spring offensive, but these developments in moscow may concern some people have been worried all the while in terms of the west supplying more modern weaponry to ukraine that they could be used across the border. that will unsettle some people if it does turn out to be what has happened here? yes. every western official we talk to says there is no question of any american, british, german, french weapons being used in attacks on

russian territory. that is really important, we can assume that the u] 22 drone is manufactured by a ukrainian company. i think we can assume this new type also will be ukrainian made so that ukraine can get away with saying to the west, we are not using your weapons and to russia, we are not saying where they came from but they are not from nato. . ~ ,, came from but they are not from nato. . ~' ,, , came from but they are not from nato. . ~ ,, , . ., ., ~ nato. thank you very much for taking us throu~h nato. thank you very much for taking us through some _ nato. thank you very much for taking us through some of _ nato. thank you very much for taking us through some of the _ nato. thank you very much for taking us through some of the important - us through some of the important strand surrounding that story. india's top female wrestlers have threatened to throw their medals into the river ganges, amid ongoing protests demanding the arrest of the country's wrestling federation chief. brij bhushan sharan singh, has been accused of sexually harrassing wrestlers for years — allegations which he denies. live now to the bbc�*s

divya ayra in delhi. this story has again exploded since the weekend. just tell it take us through it? it the weekend. just tell it take us through it?— the weekend. just tell it take us throu~h it? ., , h, through it? it has been called the indian me to _ through it? it has been called the indian me to moment _ through it? it has been called the indian me to moment because i through it? it has been called the i indian me to moment because these are very strong allegations and they have been made against a very strong person. he is not only the chief of the wrestling federation of india, he has a six time member of parliament. his party has been criticised for not responding to his demand and that demand mainly has been to arrest him and ask him to step down. they have been trying to keep up at the protest through various means and the latest effort or threat to throw their medals as

part of that and the latest, there have been really dramatic pictures coming, the latest is that they had decided not to throw their medals into the river for now and they have given five days of the government to respond. before that, we saw them sitting there crying, clutching their medals and the whole build—up to that itself, they pose a twitter note where they spoke about how let down they felt by the government, by the president, by the prime minister and they felt by the government talks a lot about the empowerment of women but uses women and their accomplishments to get to power and once they are in power, they are not concerned about the issues that affect women. concerned about the issues that affect women-— concerned about the issues that affect women. there is talk also about a potential _ affect women. there is talk also about a potential hunger- affect women. there is talk also about a potential hunger strike. | affect women. there is talk also - about a potential hunger strike. how much attention is a story getting in india and what has the official

response been to the allegations that have swirled around for such a long time? we that have swirled around for such a lona time? ~ that have swirled around for such a long time?— that have swirled around for such a lon. time? . ., , ., long time? we saw thousands gather toda . long time? we saw thousands gather today- twitter— long time? we saw thousands gather today. twitter is _ long time? we saw thousands gather today. twitter is also _ long time? we saw thousands gather today. twitter is also full— long time? we saw thousands gather today. twitter is also full of - today. twitter is also full of condemnation, both by sports personalities as well as opposition parties. you can't really say that the government hasn't done anything but what the wrestlers are saying that it but what the wrestlers are saying thatitis but what the wrestlers are saying that it is not enough. the government set up a committee to probe those allegations but didn't make the report public saying they are still parading those allegations and it has been more than three weeks since the allegations were submitted. the police did not register it in the beginning and they had to go all the way to the supreme court to get that done. 0nce supreme court to get that done. once that was done, there is no questioning of their being accused all statements taken by the wrestlers so at every step of the process, they have had to go to

higher courts, they have had to sit and protest, that took place for a whole month. it ended in a protest in front of the new parliament which they could not hold and they were evicted from that process on sunday and now they have returned that this demand will continue and the government will probably have to give a stronger response going forward. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. the cheese is rolling again. and it's not for the faint hearted. bumps and bangs along the way for many. and it was matt from manchester who bagged the first cheese. i'm pretty conscious and have not got many serious injuries, and i'm a big fan of cheese, so i'm buzzing. some people did take the rolling

a bit too literally, but it was delaney from canada who won the ladies race with a thump. despite getting knocked out like most cheese rolling champions, it wasn't long before she was back on her feet. what do you remember of the race? i remember running and then i hurt my head. and then i woke up in the tent. it comes as no surprise that there were several injuries. competitors obviously take part at their own risk. 0ne entrant had to be taken to hospital with what's thought to be a broken leg. the authorities want there to be more official organisation to make it as safe as possible. but the tradition carries on. you're live with bbc news. here in the uk, the rate of price rises in shops — has hit a record high. that's according to new figures released today

by the british retail consortium who say the hike is largely due to coffee, chocolate and non—food goods. well for more more on what all this means, here's our newsroom reporter naomi choy smith. that figure is an all—time high. what is pushing prices up? it is non—food items like and home supplies as well as health and beauty products. it is also things like pet food and your coffee, your chocolate. just look at this figure. and, the wholesale cost of cocoa which is used to make chocolate has risen by 18% since the start of this year. there is a couple of factors thatis year. there is a couple of factors that is pushing the prices of these commodities up. it is mostly extreme and poor weather in parts of africa

and poor weather in parts of africa and south america where these commodities are cultivated. it is also supply chain bottlenecks and increased production costs. now what does all this mean? year—on—year, we are still seeing prices go up. last year, you would have spent around £20 on an average weekly food shop in the uk, that number is now £3 more. 0verall, food inflation is slowing down. we have got figures from the british retail consortium showing a little cause for optimism as the figure from last month, has come down slightly to 15.4% this month. and we can largely thank products like fruit and other fresh produce, where the figures are down slightly from april to may. but

overall, definitely prices still going up and there is talk in the uk of a potential pack price cap on certain items. the government is in talks certain supermarket leaders to if this could be a solution for the continuing cost of living crisis. succession, the critically acclaimed sky atlantic/hbo drama, has come to an end after four gripping seasons. dubbed as one of the greatest tv shows ever made, the series is a satirical dark comedy—drama that delves into the complex world of power, politics, and a wealthy family dynasty. following the highly dysfunctional and fictional roy family, who control the world's largest media and entertainment company, the show explores the power struggle for control between the children when ceo logan roy is no longer at the helm. critics have widely praised the end of the emmy—winning tv drama succession, with their descriptions ranging

iam nowjoined by sara barron, broadcaster and presenter of succession fan podcast, firecrotch & normcore. thank you for being here with us. i'm trying to work out how to do this interview and i've still got three episodes to watch and i don't want to spoil it for myself. what did you make of that finale? first of all, did you make of that finale? first of all. i'm — did you make of that finale? first of all. i'm very — did you make of that finale? first of all, i'm very sorry _ did you make of that finale? first of all, i'm very sorry that - did you make of that finale? f "st of all, i'm very sorry that you had to say that word on air. i unfortunately can't offer a good opinion of dissent here. i think,

one of their very interesting things of this show is it doesn't really put affect wrong and i sometimes feel that itjust me who feels that way but i realise that no, it's this weird thing. it's hard to make something perfect but i think if you are a fan of succession and everything that is unique about it is interesting to you in the first place, then you are going to think that somehow they did the impossible and they managed this flawless ending. and they managed this flawless endinu. �* ,., , and they managed this flawless endinu. �* my ., ending. am i right in saying that he watched the _ ending. am i right in saying that he watched the final _ ending. am i right in saying that he watched the final episode - ending. am i right in saying that he watched the final episode with - ending. am i right in saying that he| watched the final episode with jesse armstrong, the writer and creator. tell me what that was like? what did he think in terms of watching it,

what he had imagined? i he think in terms of watching it, what he had imagined?- he think in terms of watching it, what he had imagined? i can't speak for him as much _ what he had imagined? i can't speak for him as much as _ what he had imagined? i can't speak for him as much as i _ what he had imagined? i can't speak for him as much as i would - what he had imagined? i can't speak for him as much as i would like - what he had imagined? i can't speak for him as much as i would like to i for him as much as i would like to be able to be him as much as myself but the reason i was so rudely talking over you was because it was so exciting. we were sat in the row, the same virus him but there was an aisle before him. my foot was inches from his foot watching the finale which is a great way to do it. it was really interesting because in a way, there is no more fascinating, interesting and exciting way to experience something like that with a shape is not creator in such proximity. 0n the other hand, and i don't know how it felt to him because it would have been too bizarre of me to spend the entire finale just awkwardly looking over

my shoulder at how he was feeling. why do you think it worked so well? you look at the writing, the music, it is absolutely spectacular, the acting. this is one story when they were talking about the boat scene, filming it in one take. what was it, in terms of those parts, why does it work so well? i in terms of those parts, why does it work so well?— work so well? i think it's a few thins. work so well? i think it's a few things- one. _ work so well? i think it's a few things. one, on— work so well? i think it's a few things. one, on our— work so well? i think it's a few things. one, on our podcast, i work so well? i think it's a few. things. one, on our podcast, we work so well? i think it's a few- things. one, on our podcast, we have had the chance to talk to a lot of different actors who have worked on the show and they all say that the way it operates as a tv show, it seems that it is a very singular television experience and as much as you do do that many takes and they set it up almost as though it is

more of a play and then they film the play. we were talking the other day to the actor who plays weller, conohs day to the actor who plays weller, conor�*s girlfriend, she starts off as a playwright and then becomes one of the people we root for most of the show. she was saying just sometimes as a person watching the orchestrations of how they shoot of of it. she said, shejust orchestrations of how they shoot of of it. she said, she just cries watching that because of the efforts that everybody puts in a so spectacular so it seems, all i can begin to think is thatjesse armstrong has very good taste in people and everything else and he has assembled in this way that is so singular all of these people who are the absolute best at what they do.

the warmest and sunniest weather will always be across western parts with cooler and cloudier weather further east. through the rest of today, some eastern coasts of england will cling onto some areas of cloud, parts of eastern scotland. northern scotland too staying quite cloudy and where that happens it will be cool. 12 degrees for lerwick, ia for norwich, but further west highs of 2a there in glasgow. this evening and tonight we do it all over again. we bring this cloud in from the north sea. it rolls its way westwards. clearest of the skies across parts of western scotland, northern ireland, north—west england. that's where it will turn a little bit chilly. temperatures generally between six and 11 degrees. tomorrow, parts of east wales, a good part of england, eastern scotland starting cloudy. a lot of that cloud will roll its way back towards the east coast. if you are spending your day along the coast, if it stays cloudy, when you're exposed to the breeze temperatures are likely to only get to ia, 15, 16 degrees. parts of north—east scotland only getting to 12 or 13 degrees. however, further west

in the sunshine, temperatures around glasgow likely to get to 25, 26 degrees. 23 for western parts of northern ireland. many western parts of england and wales not too far behind. into thursday, really, it is more of the same. the cloudy and coolest weather to be found across eastern parts of scotland, the eastern side of england. further west, more sunshine, more warmth, temperatures up to around 23 or 2a degrees. as we head towards the weekend, high pressure remains the dominant weather feature. we will continue to see the winds flowing around that area of high pressure. where you're exposed to that breeze around eastern coasts it will feel quite cool and it will be cloudy at times. the highest temperatures and the best of the sunshine further west.
