From the BBC World Service: Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has accused Russia of attacking civilian infrastructure, resulting in widespread blackouts in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions.

Plus, British economic growth slowed in July and another public holiday for the Queen's funeral next week could dampen growth this month.
