Zaporizhzhia workers kept at gunpoint by Russians

Staff at the occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant have described being kept at gunpoint while Russian troops use it as a military base.

The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, has warned the international community that, unless it helps get the Russians out of the plant immediately, there could be a disaster.

Also on the programme: a firefighter in France tells about an almost unwinnable battle as wildfires rage; and we hear from someone in the US who's overseen investigations to leaks of classified official information, and insists Donald Trump is not above the law.
