Ukraine: How are people feeling in Kyiv?

We hear whether people in Ukraine's capital are preparing for a Russian invasion.

Western leaders continue to warn of an imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine, despite Russia repeatedly saying it has no such plans to invade. The fears of an invasion stem from the presence of nearly 130 thousand Russian troops which are positioned within reach of Ukraine's borders. So how do the people in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv feel about the rising tensions? And are they preparing for an invasion? We'll speak to people in the city to find out.

Also, Hong Kong is currently seeing record numbers of daily Covid infections. This comes as the Hong Kong authorities continue to pursue their 'zero Covid' strategy, imposing strict restrictions and lockdowns. We'll have a conversation with three people there to hear how the restrictions are affecting their lives and how they feel about them.

And every day we're joined by one of our regular coronavirus experts to answer your questions about the virus. Today our guest is Dr Eleanor Murray, assistant professor of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health.
