Macron targets Le Pen in election run off

In France, President Emmanuel Macron is firing up his campaign for re-election, directly taking on far-right rival Marine Le Pen in France's presidential run-off. He has made his first trip to a Le Pen stronghold at Denain, one of France's poorest towns in the industrial north. We hear directly from the country, after Mr Macron won the first round of the election yesterday.

Pakistan's parliament has selected Shehbaz Sharif as the country's new prime minister, after Imran Khan was ousted in a no-confidence vote in the early hours of Sunday. The opposition coalition leader - who had worked to depose Mr Khan - won the support of a majority in parliament, and will now form a new government eligible to remain in place until the 2023 election. We get the latest on this from our correspondent and hear a conversation between three young people across Pakistan's political spectrum.

And we continue our coverage of the war in Ukraine. President Zelensky says Russia is concentrating tens of thousands of soldiers for its next offensive in the east of the country. We hear from a citizen who fled her home near Bucha, where Russia is facing continued allegations of war crimes.
