My colleagues in Ukraine have taken a look at a surprising new tool which is saving lives on the frontline. And, how far would you go for a good meal? We've got the story of a Michelin-starred chef who's sending her lobster bisque into space. | |

The rapper, 55, faces up to 10 years in prison for each of those charges but the prosecution could not convince the jury of the more serious charges - we take a look at why. When the verdicts were given he celebrated then appeared to give thanks, making prayer signs towards the jury and his family, writes the BBC's Madeline Halpert from court to hear the verdict. |

| The magnets saving lives in Ukraine | | The shard of metal was removed from Serhiy Melnyk's heart using a new technology. [Credit: Kevin McGregor/BBC] | With the rise of drone warfare in Ukraine shrapnel injuries are increasing. It has led to the development of a magnetic extractor - a thin magnet-tipped device strong enough to lift a sledgehammer. |

| | From his pocket, Serhiy Melnyk pulls out a small rusty shard, wrapped neatly in paper. He holds it up. "It grazed my kidney, pierced my lung, and my heart," says the Ukrainian serviceman quietly.
Traces of dried blood are still visible on the shrapnel from a Russian drone that became lodged in his heart while he was fighting in eastern Ukraine. Untreated, Serhiy's injury would have been fatal.
Cardiovascular surgeon Serhiy Maksymenko shows footage of the metal fragment trapped in Serhiy's beating heart before it is delicately removed by a thin magnet-tipped device. In just one year, Doctor Maksymenko's team has performed over 70 successful heart operations with the device, which has changed the face of front-line medicine in Ukraine. |
