New attacks on Odesa

The Ukrainian port city of Odesa has been struck by a volley of Russian cruise missiles.

At least eight people have been killed in a Russian missile strike on a residential block of flats in the Black Sea port of Odesa, Ukraine's third biggest city. We speak to a local member of parliament.

Also on the programme, would a change in leadership following tomorrow's French elections affect the country's presence in Africa's Sahel region? And we take a look at the ‘age of the strongman’ with author Gideon Rachman.
