Live in Finland

After Finland’s leaders said their country must join the NATO military alliance without delay in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we’re presenting the programme live from the Finnish town of Lappeenranta. It’s 30km from the Russian border.

We hear how the border has an impact on people’s lives and the economy there. We find out what it’s like to live there if you’re Russian at the moment. And we talk to local people about whether they agree with the proposal to join NATO.

Our correspondent explains what it actually means when a country joins NATO and what would actually change for Finns, if they became part of the group.

Also, we explain a BBC investigation into Cambodian antiquities, which Cambodia’s government says were stolen from its temples and are now in museums in the UK.
