Officials in Kryvyy Rih in central Ukraine say it has been hit by another Russian missile. It's only a day since a nearby dam was damaged in a missile attack, flooding houses and leaving residents to be evacuated. We get the latest from our correspondent. We also hear from residents who lived under Russian occupation in north-eastern Ukraine before fleeing their home towns.

Also, our International Editor Jeremy Bowen has spent some time in Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion began. He gives an update on Ukraine's counter-offensive which has seen the country’s forces recapture swathes of territory and drive out Russian troops. He also answers questions from listeners about the war.

The price of fuel in Kenya has risen to a new record high. It's after the new government led by President William Ruto partially removed subsidies that protected people from a global hike in oil prices. We hear from Kenyans reacting to the price rise.

And Roger Federer, one of the greatest tennis players of all time, will retire from top-level tennis after the Laver Cup in London later this month. We hear reaction to his announcement.
