Ukrainian soldiers are welcomed into Kherson by jubilant residents, after Russia said it had fully withdrawn from the key southern city.

Plus, Democrats and Republicans are neck-and-neck in the electoral battle for the US Senate, after the latest projected result; and a new generation of jazz musicians has emerged in South Africa, but what are the handicaps they face?

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Mary Fitzgerald, non-resident scholar of the Middle East Institute; and Andrew Small, Senior transatlantic fellow at the German Marshall fund.
