Deadly landslides in Brazil

More than 100 people have died in landslides and flash flooding in the city of Petrópolis

We speak to our correspondent in Brazil about the deadly landslides and floods that struck the city of Petrópolis, in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro. We also hear from a teacher who has been helping people left homeless by the disaster.

We look at the evidence of a supposed Russian troops withdrawal as some intelligence suggests that instead of a withdrawal, 7,000 extra troops have arrived at Ukraine’s border. We speak to an expert about how journalists are analysing satellite images and other available “Open Source” information about Russian troop movements.

We hear about a BBC investigation that has uncovered an apparent culture of denial and complicity around sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in Italy.

We get your latest questions answered on the coronavirus pandemic with one of our regular experts, Dr Helen Wimalarathna from the University of Buckingham.
