Israel's Eurovision contestant was booed during a dress rehearsal.

Large crowds are taking part in a pro-Palestinian protest in the Swedish city of Malmo ahead of Israel's appearance in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest. There have been several campaigns to block Israel from taking part in this year's contest following the outbreak of war in the Middle East. We speak to our reporter in Malmo. 

Rescue efforts are underway in Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul state after floods and landslides killed at least 100 people. We speak to our reporter in Brazil and hear from affected residents. 

We find out about a pioneering gene therapy that has restored a child's hearing in the UK. 

The highest-grossing tour in history - Taylor Swift's Eras Tour - is back from a break and the European leg kicks off tonight in Paris. We speak to two fans who have been queuing all day to get a good spot tonight. 

Presenter: James Reynolds.
