Ukraine war: Shelling of Kherson

Civilians have been fleeing Kherson as Russia attacks intensify.

A BBC team in southern Ukraine has seen hundreds of people fleeing continued shelling of Kherson -- the city liberated from Russian forces only last month. We speak to a resident who is still in the city. We also turn to our regular BBC expert Vitaly Shevchenko -- himself Ukrainian -- to hear his personal insights and reflections ten months on since the start of the conflict.

Taiwan is the latest place to announce restrictions on visitors from China where Covid infections and deaths continue to rise. We look at the situation in China and elsewhere in the region.

We speak to a couple in the Philippines who run an organisation called "Art Relief Mobile Kitchen" to help feed people in times of natural disasters.

India's sports minister says the country is “seriously” considering a bid to host the 2036 Olympic Games. We hear what Indians think about the idea.
