How can art help mental health?

The Bethlem Royal Hospital in south London is the world’s oldest psychiatric institution, treating patients for nearly eight centuries.
Previously known as Bedlam, over the years the hospital has acquired a huge and significant collection of art and artefacts, much of it by patients. For years it has been stored in unsuitable temporary accommodation. On Thursday a new £4m gallery and museum to show off the collection opens to the public.
BBC News was given access to the new space to see how art can play a role in mental health and met one former patient whose work is included in the exhibition.

A British ultra-endurance athlete says he has broken the world record for running across the width of Australia, after a gruelling 35-day journey.
William Goodge, 31, started the 3,800km (2,361-mile) run from Cottesloe Beach in Perth on 15 April, and finished on Monday afternoon at Australia’s iconic Bondi Beach.
Goodge’s team says he ran the equivalent of two-and-a-half marathons, about 100km, every day.
The record is yet to be verified by Guinness World Records, which certified Chris Turnbull’s record-breaking dash across the continent over 39 days in 2023. The year before, Australian electrician Nedd Brockmann ran the same route in 47 days.

President Zelensky has said he’s ready to meet Vladimir Putin in Turkey this week for talks on ending the Ukraine War. It’s proposed that they take place in Turkey on Thursday.
It came after President Trump demanded immediate direct talks between Ukraine and Russia to determine if a peace deal is possible.
Mr Zelensky had previously insisted that a full ceasefire must begin ahead of any negotiations. Russia’s leader has refused to agree a ceasefire but has agreed to talks, although he’s not said if he will personally take part.
