Waves of Israeli strikes have hit southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure, according to the Israeli military. We speak to our correspondent in Beirut and hear a report by our correspondent about the impact of drone strikes from Hezbollah in the border town of Shomera in northern Israel. Our economics editor explains what has been driving the rising cost of your cup of coffee. The world's number one men's tennis player, the Italian Jannik Sinner, has collapsed spectacularly in the heat of the French Open. We bring together an expert and an athlete to dicuss the impact of extreme heat on sports performance. We also hear messages from across Europe about the heatwave. Presenter: James Reynolds.
