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, Canada and Kenya.

We reflect the conversations taking place about the libel case won by Johnny Depp against his ex-wife Amber Heard.

We get the latest on how the Russian army is trying to break Ukraine’s defence in the eastern region of Donbas.
