Uncertainty over Severodonetsk evacuations
It's unclear if Russian troops opened a humanitarian corridor from the city.
It's unclear if there have been evacuations after Russia pledged to open a "humanitarian corridor" from the Azot plant in Severodonetsk, where hundreds of civilians are reportedly sheltering alongside Ukrainian soldiers. A spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs told the BBC that trapped people have stayed because they have "nowhere safe to go". We hear from someone whose father was killed in Severodonetsk in March.
Also, we explain why a planned flight to transport asylum seekers from the UK to Rwanda was cancelled last minute. We find out what happens next to the UK government’s new policy.
We continue to reflect conversations about the human impact of insecurity in Nigeria. A father and his teenage daughter, who was abducted from her school in Nigeria's Kaduna state, tell us their story.
And we return to conversations from the BBC’s Crossing Divides season, this time focusing on climate change. We hear a discussion between someone who thinks tackling climate change is down to governments and corporations and someone who thinks it’s the responsibility of individuals.
