Good evening. The Duke of Sussex launched his phone hacking claim to stop his wife Meghan from suffering abuse, the High Court has heard. We also have the latest news on the Kakhovka dam collapse, as Volodymyr Zelensky warned that hundreds of thousands of people were without drinking water.

Our Royal Editor Victoria Ward writes that Harry was emboldened for his second day in court – but still couldn’t land a punch. 

Asked when he first approached solicitors to bring a claim against Mirror Group Newspapers, Harry said it came about when talking about ways to protect his then new wife. 

The Duke also claimed he may have been hacked on a “daily basis” over a period spanning 15 years, but admitted he had no evidence to show he was targeted. You can read what the Duke had to say in the High Court our live blog.
