Slovakia welcomes refugees from Ukraine

Slovakia opens its doors to those fleeing the fighting in Ukraine.

We hear from Slovakia, one of Ukraine's neighbours is taking in people who are fleeing the fighting.

Also, President Biden says the United States will offer more economic, security and humanitarian help to Ukraine, following a phone conversation with Volodomyr Zelensky.

Plus, as fighting continues across much of Ukraine, we hear from Ukrainians desperately trying to escape the onslaught.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute of International Affairs in Rome. She's also Special Advisor to EU High Representative and Vice President of the Commission, Josep Borrell; and Andri Snaer Magnason, an Icelandic writer and documentary film-maker.
