Ukraine: Russia bombs capital Kyiv
The Russian defence ministry has warned that attacks like this will intensify.
The Russian defence ministry says it has carried out missile strikes targeting Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, warning that attacks like this will intensify in retaliation for what it called Ukrainian "terror attacks" or "acts of sabotage" in Russia. It came hours after it admitted that the Moskva warship had sunk following an explosion on Wednesday. We'll bring you the latest on what's happening across the country, and also bring you the story of a Ukrainian graffiti artist turned war crimes investigator.
We’ll also hear how people in Ukraine with medical conditions and disabilities have been struggling during the war – often facing medicine shortages and problems with access to bomb shelters and evacuation routes.
Also, new UN data suggests that more people are fleeing their homes in the Democratic Republic of Congo due to violence than those in Afghanistan and Yemen. We’ll explain the ongoing violence and hear from residents affected by political instability and attacks by armed groups.
And we’ll talk to our reporter about a campaign by victims of child sexual exploitation calling for tech companies to stop child abuse on live-stream and video call platforms.
