Ukraine war: Putin presses on after Lysychansk capture
Vladimir Putin has ordered his defence minister to continue the offensive in Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered his defence minister to continue the offensive in Ukraine after Russia captured the city of Lysychansk. Earlier the region's Ukrainian governor said the city was abandoned so Russians would not destroy it from a distance. We'll hear from a BBC correspondent in Ukraine.
Also in the programme, at least 18 people were killed in the Uzbekistan region of Karakalpakstan when protests erupted last week over plans to limit its autonomy. State prosecutors said more than 200 people were injured - many fewer than the thousands of people officials had said were being treated in hospital.
And we'll hear reaction from Ohio in the United States, following the release of police video of Jayland Walker being shot dead, shot more than 60 times by pursuing officers.
