Ukraine conflict: ICRC calls for access to prisoners of war

Robert Mardini: Families on both sides of the conflict in Ukraine have a right to know what happened to POWs.

We speak to Robert Mardini, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, who is in Ukraine and is calling for more access to prisoners of war.

Also, the legacy of the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, we hear from the Russian historian, Vladislav Zubok.

And how rising temperatures are impacting our wellbeing.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Christos Christou, president of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) or Doctors Without Borders, the international humanitarian non-governmental organisation; and Ulrike Franke, Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations and a security and defence analyst.
