The fallout from US President Donald Trump's trade tariffs continues.

Last year he laid sweeping levies on dozens of countries. But in the last few days, they were struck down by the US Supreme Court. And President Trump responded with new tariffs.

So what does this mean for the future of global trade? How are leaders in Britain, the European Union and Canada adjusting to an ever-changing trade landscape? And what does it all mean for America's rival superpower, China?

We speak to the BBC's economics editor Faisal Islam.

As the war enters a fifth year, the Ukrainian military continues to resist being overrun by Russian forces.

But military losses are mounting on both sides and Ukraine's population faces near-daily aerial attacks.

On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said "Ukraine never chose this war", adding: "We have defended our independence, we have not lost our statehood."

The Kremlin, which believed it could capture Kyiv within days, acknowledged its war aims "haven't been fully achieved yet" and said it intended to continue attacking Ukraine.

The BBC's International Editor Jeremy Bowen has been in Donetsk to assess the state of the battlefield and the human cost of the conflict.

Reddit has been fined £14.47m by the UK's data watchdog for unlawfully using children's personal information.

The Information Commissioner's Office said the platform failed to properly check the age of its users, putting children using Reddit at risk of being exposed to inappropriate and harmful content online.

In a statement, Reddit said it "didn't require users to share information about their identities, regardless of age, because we are deeply committed to their privacy and safety."

Four Russian soldiers have exposed the horror and brutality of conditions on their side of the front lines in Ukraine, with two men telling the BBC they saw soldiers being executed on the spot for refusing orders.

Men give detailed accounts about how they were tortured for refusing to take part in assaults they describe as verging on suicide missions.

For the first time, the BBC believes, Russian soldiers from the front line say on the record how they witnessed commanders ordering executions of their own men.

The Russian government says its armed forces "operate with utmost restraint, as far as possible under the conditions of a high-intensity conflict, treating their personnel with maximum care".

"Information regarding alleged violations and crimes is duly investigated," it added.

"We are unable to independently verify the accuracy or authenticity of the information you have provided," it said.

US President Donald Trump's new global tariffs have come into effect at 10% despite a pledge to introduce them at a higher rate.

After the Supreme Court blocked many of his sweeping import taxes on Friday, the president said he would introduce a 10% global rate. He then said on Saturday that the rate would be 15%.

However, according to official documents, the tariffs have been set at the lower rate from Tuesday with no directive to increase the rate issued. The BBC has contacted the White House for comment.

Lord Mandelson has been released on bail, the Metropolitan Police says, hours after his arrest on Monday on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The force said a 72-year-old-man was released pending further investigation.

Lord Mandelson was arrested at an address in Camden, north London, on Monday and taken to Wandsworth police station for interview.

It comes after an investigation earlier this month over allegations that, while he was serving as a government minister, Lord Mandelson had passed on market-sensitive government information to the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Lord Mandelson has not publicly commented in recent weeks on the Epstein files, but the BBC understands his position has consistently been that he has not acted in any way criminally and that he was not motivated by financial gain.
