Ukraine: Frontline in the east

We’ll get the latest information from Ukraine, where Ukraine's general staff say Russia has intensified offensive operations across the eastern Donbas region. There are also reports from the besieged southern city of Mariupol that separatist fighters, supported by Russian forces, are trying to storm an industrial complex where the city's last defenders have been holding out alongside hundreds of civilians. We'll speak to our reporters on the ground, as well as hearing the voices and stories of Ukrainians living through the conflict.

Also, we go to Afghanistan where a boys' high school in the capital Kabul has been targeted by two bomb attacks, killing several students. The area where the attack occurred is in a Shia Hazara neighbourhood in the west of the city, which has been frequently targeted by the Islamic State group. We hear from people in the Hazara community.

And we hear a conversation with three Ukrainian journalists to hear what it's like covering a war in your own country.
