Nuclear plant's power 'belongs to Ukraine'
The UN Secretary General responds to claims Russia might take energy from Zaporizhzhia
James Waterhouse presents the programme live from Kyiv, Ukraine, as we broadcast from five cities with five BBC correspondents in five days.
The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has been talking about the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant while on a trip to Odesa. He says the energy it produces belongs to Ukraine and believes that diplomacy can ensure the safety of the plant. We'll hear what the UN leader told the BBC in an interview and get our correspondent to explain whether any diplomatic breakthrough looks possible.
We'll hear a group of Russians talk about the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's view that if Russians stay silent on the subject of the invasion, they are complicit in the evil of war.
And after model Linda Evangelista appeared on the front cover of Vogue for the first time since she said a failed cosmetic procedure left her "deformed", we'll explain the technique of so-called "fat freezing".
