The WHO declares the outbreak of monkeypox an international emergency.

The World Health Organisation declares the monkeypox outbreak is now a global emergency.

Also, widespread condemnation as Russian missiles hit Ukraine's Odesa port, hours after a deal allowing grain exports to millions around the world.

Plus, a look at politics in Brazil ahead of the presidential elections in October.
