Ukrainian soldiers on the eastern frontline have told the BBC they're suffering high casualty rates, as they continue to repel Russian attacks.

We'll hear from those on the frontline in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, a region Russia's president Vladimir Putin wants to control.

Also in the programme: As Israeli strikes hit Gaza's last functioning hospital in the south, we hear from an eye witness; and we have an appreciation of Jerry Adler - the man who played the fixer for one of TV's most memorable crime families.
