  • Kyiv endures Russian bombardment

    Ukraine says at least eight civilians have been killed in a major Russian drone and missile attack, which hit both energy facilities and apartment blocks. We speak to one Kyiv resident who says that living under constant threat makes every day like roulette.

    Also in the programme: we ask the UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, whether the international community is capable of taking action to stop the flow of arms to the Sudanese RSF group; and crime novelist turned national football coach Eydun Klakstein tells us why his Faroe Islands team have what it takes to make World Cup history.

    Also on the programme: a new documentary analyses Hitler's DNA for the very first time - we speak to the expert who studied his genetic make up; and Sri Lanka's cricket team continue their tour of Pakistan despite security concerns.
