As the fight for the eastern city of Severodonetsk in Ukraine continues, there are reports that thousands of people remain caught in the crossfire. We hear from Ukrainians who are from the city.

In Canada, the government is proposing a new law that would freeze private ownership of all short-barrelled firearms. We find out about gun ownership in Canada, and get some reaction to what is being proposed.
