Queen Elizabeth: Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

We hear how people in the UK are celebrating Queen Elizabeth's 70 years on the throne and hear messages from around the world about the Queen and the future of the British monarchy.

Thousands of people around the Commonwealth are also marking the Queen’s 70-year reign but there are some Commonwealth members considering removing the Queen as their head of State. We discuss those calls with commentators from Jamaica and Canada.

We reflect the conversations taking place about the libel case won by Johnny Depp against his ex-wife Amber Heard who said she was a victim of abuse. Some are asking where does the verdict leave the #MeToo movement while others highlight the social media campaign against Amber Heard during the trial.

And, we get the latest on how the Russian army is trying to break Ukraine’s defence in the eastern region of Donbass.
