Vladlen Tatarsky was a high profile champion of the war in Ukraine, a blogger who didn't appear to be afraid to criticise the Kremlin for their shortcomings in the war. His murder happened in a cafe in St Petersburg once owned by Yevgeny Prigozin, the head of the Wagner Mercenary Group. Tatarsky was handed a statuette which exploded, killing him, and wounding as many as 30 of his supporters. The Russians promptly arrested a young woman Darya Trepova, an anti-war protestor, who has now been charged with terrorism. Prigozin himself has opined he didn't think the blast was the work of the Ukranian Goverment. Another theory is that it could also be the work of Russian political infighting.

Newsnight previously uncovered deep concerns about what was going on inside the University Hospitals Birmingham Trust, from allegations of whistleblowers being threatened, to the father of a junior doctor who killed herself saying the hospital had destroyed her. The reports resulted in three inquiries being launched, the first of which, an interim report into patient safety, came out on Tuesday. It sought to reassure the public saying the trust's various sites were a safe place to receive care. But it warned any continuation of a corrosive culture there would impact morale, hit staffing, and “put at risk the care of patients”. The report highlights the Queen Elizabeth hospital, saying there's clear evidence that cultural problems persist there and require serious attention. Sir Robert Francis - the barrister who headed the Mid-Staffs hospital inquiry told Newsnight that, “patients will not be safe in any organisation unless staff feel they will be supported if they speak up about their genuine concerns”. David Grossman and the NHS team speak to the Trust’s chief executive Jonathan Brotherton and the report’s author professor Mike Bewick. Please subscribe

Protests in Israel are continuing despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to delay a key part of controversial plans to overhaul the justice system.

The co-ordinated action was designed to push Mr Netanyahu back from the brink of pushing through the reforms by the end of this week. Opposition Leader Yair Lapid called it the "biggest crisis in the history of the country".
