Reporting in Mexico

All of this week on OS we've been hearing from journalists in Mexico, about their lives and their work. Reporters there face deadly violence - five have been killed since the start of 2022. Today we're hearing from a journalist whose newspaper focuses on organised crime and drugs in Sinaloa state.

Russia continues to deny planning an invasion of Ukraine and accuses the West of stoking hysteria but US officials say Russia now has up to 190,000 troops built-up around Ukraine. We speak to our correspondent in Kyiv and to our colleague from BBC Russian about today's developments.

The way that Russian figure skating star, Kamila Valieva, was treated by her coach when she failed to win a medal, has prompted an outcry and debate on skaters’ wellbeing. We’ll speak to a former figure skater and a sport journalist in Russia about methods and training regimes of skating clubs.
