by the opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in the world. the 44—year—old is chelsea's sixth managerial appointment in five years. leicester have said they're disappointed maresca has decided to leave given that he'd steered them back to the top flight. spanish football journalist guillem balague has been explaining why chelsea went for their new man. somebody that's got the energy to actually keep improving chelsea and take them to the top four again. all of that comes on the basis of two things. what they saw that he done at leicester city and number two, the interview was very impressive. i think some people walk into the interview feeling that, yeah, we will see, a championship manager, not a lot of experience, came out of it thinking he has to be him. england are among the teams in internationalfriendly action on monday ahead of this month's european championship in germany. it's approaching half—time in their match in newcastle against bosnia & herzegovina. england face iceland at wembley on friday, will theirfinal game before the euros start. germany taking on ukraine. elsewhere, wins for scotland and croatia. an incredible comeback from novak djokovic at the french open saw the world number one reach a record 59th grand slam quarterfinal. djokovic cruised the first set against francisco cerundolo 6—1, but looked in real trouble after that. his opponent levelled, then went ahead after djokovic showed signs of a knee injury. but a superb performance saw the defending champion dig in to win the next two sets 7—5, 6—3. in another epic five—setter, djokovic chasing a record extending 25th major title this year. in the women's draw, the quarterfinals are complete, and aryna sabalenka continued her sparkling form at roland—garros. and it was a comfortable win for second—seed. she eased past 22nd—seed emma navarro in straight sets 6—2, 6—3 and will play either 17—year—old mirra andreeva or home hope vavara gracheva in the quarterfinals. on match day, i'm really focused. ifeel all the pressure, to be honest, and i'm dealing with that, but on a day off, i am able to complete and forget i am able to complete switch off and forget about tennis and go out, have fun, doing something for my mental health, to be stronger, ready for the next round, so it's all about how you are able to manage the energy. fourth—seed elena rybakina is through, matching her best result at roland—garros. she beat isth—seed and wimbledon semifinalist elina svitolina in straight sets 6—4, 6—3 and will play italianjasmin paolini next, after she beat russian elina avanesyan in three sets. and in formula i, esteban ocon is to leave alpine at the end of the year after five seasons with the french team. ocon has picked up a win and two podiums since joining the team in 2020, but the frenchman's stay at alpine has been marked by tension with his team—mates. this announcement coming in the wake of ocon crashing with pierre gasly on the first lap of the monaco grand prix last weekend. and that's all the sport for now. stv will host the first televised debate of this year's uk election. the scottish leaders will go head to head tonight. the debate, which starts at 9pm uk time, will feature john swinney of the snp, labour's anas sarwar, douglas ross of the scottish conservatives and alex cole—hamilton, who leads the lib dems in scotland. there will be no place for the scottish greens, who formed part of the last coalition government in edinburgh, nor alex salmond's alba party, though stv says it is comfortable it is complying with ofcom rules around due impartiality. for more on this, let's cross to glasgow to talk tojohn curtice, professor of politics at strathclyde university. do you think they still have a place in general elections under the make a difference?

joining me now is brian stelter, special correspondent at vanity fair. i been reports for several months of the magazine feature and what i have sensed at the post is a real sense of decline. for several years now, profits of turn to the losses, digital subscriptions of the declining in the posters lost a lot of its mojo. in some of the plan the executive editor was. forced out overnight and was replaced by two men, there is a real conversation about diversity by the shake—up is happening but the reality is, the posters been in need of something, and some new prescription, the ceo and some new prescription, the ceo and publisher believes that he has a plan that is installing his men to do it. . ., ., plan that is installing his men to do it. . . ., ., plan that is installing his men to doit. . ., ., ., , do it. circulation of newspapers, brian by the _ do it. circulation of newspapers, brian by the other _ do it. circulation of newspapers, brian by the other part - do it. circulation of newspapers, brian by the other part is - do it. circulation of newspapers, brian by the other part is very i brian by the other part is very new, this third news room talking about social media, ai, the way people consume news, what you tell us about that?

we live in focusing purely on video and tv? - live in an environment for every media content competes of the other on the internet. the new york times recognize the reality the bbc does as well by the washington post has been slow to come to grips with that reality, the truck competing with everything it in some ways, that means you have to be to all people and really great at certain specific verticals in key areas one of the criticisms is that its headquarters in washington as the lead others on the washington beat and all these guys coming in can start to reverse that part more specifically, in every media in every way, that can be a daunting challenge one of the reasons why it can be an owner of the institution. if reasons why it can be an owner of the institution.— reasons why it can be an owner of the institution. if we are saturated b news the institution. if we are saturated by news and _ the institution. if we are saturated by news and it _ the institution. if we are saturated by news and it bombards - the institution. if we are saturated by news and it bombards us - the institution. if we are saturated by news and it bombards us in - the institution. if we are saturated l by news and it bombards us in every direction, how does that if it will be trounced? you would go to a traditional newspaper left or right and yes, it would picture in your echo chamber to an extent but they'll be other places you can go, what if the market becomes so saturated that you cannot trust anyone but shallow information overload is a very real problem but we are at a point where ai conquers all computers conquers all.- all computers conquers all. they're -uttina all computers conquers all. they're putting billions _ all computers conquers all. they're putting billions of— all computers conquers all. they're putting billions of dollars _ all computers conquers all. they're putting billions of dollars into - putting billions of dollars into these chat bots of these chat bots are only as smart as the content that are being trained on. in other words, realjournalism is going to matter more in the coming years because that is the raw material for these incredibly smart ai systems. keep coming up and thank you for your time. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. killed in just want to bring you an update on some developments we're following out of the middle east this evening. the israeli army has announced the deaths of four hostages abducted by hamas on october the seventh. one was named as israeli british hostage nadav popplewell. the news was also confirmed by a kibbutz community. we've just had statement from foreign secretary lord cameron. he said: "greatly saddened to hear about the death of nadav popplewell who had been held in captivity by hamas since 7 october. my thoughts are with his loved ones at this terrible time for them. with a new deal on the table, we reiterate our demand for hamas to send all hostages home." since russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine, the crackdown on dissent inside russia has been intensifying. a string of repressive laws has been adopted to silence criticism of the war and of the kremlin. but, as our russia editor steve rosenberg reports from the city of ivanovo some russians are still finding ways to express their concern at the direction their country's taken. there are some faces you expect to see now in any russian town, but there are faces, too, that may surprise you. in ivanovo, this is the george orwell library, an oasis of free thought in an increasingly repressive russia. alexandra runs the library, which opened after the invasion of ukraine. there are books on russia's totalitarian past and dystopian novels about big brother controlling you. so what are the lessons of 0rwell�*s 1984 for russia 2024? translation: that mankind must resist total control, _ total brainwashing. that everyone can protect their personal space and freedom if they understand what's going on around them — if they want to be free and have the will. there are talks, too. this one on how to overcome a sense of helplessness. lectures and literature encouraging russians to think about what's happening in their country. the library insists it's not breaking any laws, but the subject matter here is very sensitive. any honest discussion about russia's past or present can bring trouble, and trouble they have. the local businessman who's been funding the project has fled abroad, wanted by police. now, the library has been told to vacate the building. but most people in ivanovo pass the library by — for a variety of reasons. in the city centre, a big band, but no talk of big brother. some here embrace the direction in which russia's moving. "we're growing more independent," vladimir says. "less reliant on the west." "we're making progress," says natalia. "as putin says, it's a new stage for russia." and russia's war in ukraine? "i don't watch anything about that now," nina says, "it's too upsetting." i find that for many russians, it's too distressing to even contemplate that what is happening today carries the risk of a dystopian tomorrow. steve rosenberg, bbc news, ivanovo. the most prestigious film festivals in the world are known as the big five. you will known them — venice, cannes, berlin, toronto and sundance, but there are many others. some of them much smaller in stature, but no less important to the film industry and the next generation of talent. later this month, the kingston film festival here in london will open its doors for the third year running, with 86 films showing over three days, including a new animated movie, 0zi voice of the forest, produced by leonardo dicaprio. so why are these smaller festivals so important, and what do film and tv want from this next british government?

we are young festivals so that people to be putting together younger people were coming out and trying to introduce them to establish producers and production companies and trained to help them get their foot up in their careers but we are growing up to think of ourselves as john on the thames stop by people want to come in can they come?

who says i have? well, why you said a few weeks ago, you said ten days ago, you weren't going to stand, so why change? have you ever changed your mind? about anything, ever? i think it would not be _ an overstatement to say you've been one of the most important british clinical figures in the last, - i don't know, 30, 40 years. why? because it's incrediblyl hard to imagine britain leaving the european union, i brexit, without nigel farage. 0ur panel tonight — in scotland the political commentator and columnist for the herald, brian taylor, here in london the deputy political editor at the guardianjessica elgot. also with us tonight, the politico editor, jack black shot. first, the latest headlines. the first televised leadership debate of the general election is just getting under way in scotland, on stv. it's featuring snp first ministerjohn swinney, douglas ross for the conservatives, labour's anas sarwar
