Moscow hit by largest drone attack of war

Hello. Just hours before talks which could determine Ukraine's future began, it appears that Moscow was hit by the largest drone attack Kyiv has launched since the beginning of the war. We also report from Santa Fe where the death of actor Gene Hackman and his wife have shed a light on the grim realities of Alzheimer's disease. And in the UK, we have pictures from the King and Princess of Wales's return to an annual church service that they were both forced to miss last year due to cancer treatment.

At least two people have been killed and three injured in what is thought to be the largest drone attack that Ukraine has launched so far in and around Moscow, according to Russian officials. Ukraine has not commented, but regional authorities report that it also suffered strikes from Russia overnight. Talks between Ukrainian and US officials on ending the war have just begun in Saudi Arabia, but our Russia editor Steve Rosenberg says there is no sign Moscow will compromise. Military chiefs from around 30 countries are due to meet in Paris today to draw up plans for the "coalition of the willing" to help Ukraine.

The final days of Hollywood star Gene Hackman's life may have felt to him as if he were "living in a reel", with his advanced Alzheimer's potentially causing him to "live through" the same feelings and actions over and over again - such as repeatedly finding his wife dead, a dementia expert has told the BBC. The startling details of Hackman living in the home for a week with Betsy Arakawa's body have shone a light on the grim realities of dementia. "It breaks my heart he was alone so long," one neighbour said.

And finally... on TikTok

A 92-year-old crooner has become a social media sensation after his granddaughters encouraged him to start singing again after his wife died. They began uploading videos of Edwin Rayner covering contemporary hits to TikTok, where he has amassed 8.7 million views for his cover of Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club, and 11.5 million for his version of Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.
