Ukrainian live streamers: How life has changed
Ukrainian live streamers discuss how their jobs have changed since Russia's invasion.
From influencers to makeshift war reporters - that's how many popular Ukrainian vloggers and live streamers have seen their day jobs suddenly change since the invasion of Russia. Many of them say they now feel it's their duty to talk about the war rather than life hacks or the latest gaming releases - especially as the gaming site Twitch is still broadcasting in Russia and reaches a Russian audience. We hear a conversation with a Ukrainian YouTuber and a Ukrainian Twitch streamer.
We also continue to bring you the latest from Ukraine. The BBC has been speaking to two mothers who made the journey out of the Avostal steelworks in the besieged city of Mariupol last week to Zaporizhzhia, which Ukraine still controls. And we hear from our correspondent from BBC Ukrainian on the matter.
Also, we look closer at Iraq, where the skies have turned orange because of a dust storm. Dozens have been hospitalised and flights have grounded due to poor visibility in Baghdad, Najaf and Erbil. Experts warn that the storms could become more frequent due to drought and low rainfall.
And we hear from our Africa health correspondent on the story that Africa's first factory that was meant to make and distribute covid-19 vaccinations across the continent is at risk of closing after receiving no orders at all.
