Russia attacks TV tower in Ukrainian capital

On the sixth day of the war in Ukraine, there seems to have been an intensification of the Russian attacks. In Kharkiv, Ukraine's second city, there was a strike on Freedom Square in the centre, causing a huge explosion. At least ten people were killed, according to the Ukrainian authorities, and the president, Volodymyr Zelensky, described the attack as a war crime. We hear from a former security official who says a huge Russian military convoy now approaching the capital will meet stiff resistance and we speak to a resident of Kharkiv which has come under heavy attack today.
