BBC World Service - Newsday, Violence in Baghdad as Moqtada al-Sadr quits politics

At least 15 people have been killed in clashes

At least 15 people have been killed in clashes between Iraqi security forces and supporters of the Shia cleric

Fighting between Iraqi security forces and Shia militia has continued inside the heavily-fortified Green Zone in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. Foreigners have been caught up in the street fighting, with Dutch embassy staff forced to move to the German mission.

Ukraine says it has broken through Russian defences in several sectors of the frontline near the city of Kherson -- which has been occupied by Moscow since the start of the invasion.

And in Pakistan almost a third of the country is now under water, with millions of homes damaged or destroyed and much of its farmland flooded.
