Moscow's Victory Day parade held under ceasefire

Russia's annual Victory Day parade in Moscow coincided with a three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, announced by President Trump. President Zelensky ordered his forces not to target the event, which commemorates the defeat of Nazi Germany. It was much scaled back this year because of the war, with no armoured vehicles or ballistic missiles on display. Also in the programme: Hungary's new parliament is meeting, heralding a shift in direction under the new prime minister; and the Venice Biennale art exhibition starts today, with calls for boycotts of artists from Russia and Israel - but not everyone agrees.
