Ukraine: Mariupol evacuation begins

Twenty civilians leave Mariupol steelworks after weeks stuck in atrocious conditions

Twenty civilians were able to leave Mariupol steelworks after weeks stuck in atrocious conditions. Meanwhile, the Russian assault on eastern Ukraine continues. We hear from a reporter in the region and an advisor to the Ukrainian defence ministry, Yuriy Sak.

Also in the programme: growing fears of a global cost-of-living crisis exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other topical issues of the day are South Korean journalist Nemo Kim and Peter Frankopan, a professor of global history at Oxford University.
