Ukraine calls for help in evacuating children
Government advisor says Russia is waging war on the children of Ukraine and calls for help in evacuating children from 5 orphanages.
Ukraine's Presidential Advisor on children's rights, Daria Herasymchuk, describes the situation as a war waged by the Russian occupiers against the children of Ukraine.
Also, out of Mariupol. Ukraine and Russia say they have completed the evacuation of civilians from the steel plant. Ukrainian soldiers are still holding out against the Russian siege; we'll get the latest.
And will there be a new wave of COVID-19?
Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Kadri Liik, senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations; and Kai Kupferschmidt, science writer and contributing correspondent for Science magazine.
