US impose new sanctions on Russia's Wagner Group

The United States has imposed further sanctions on Russian mercenary group Wagner, which has been fighting alongside Moscow's forces in Ukraine.

Also on Weekend: anger in Belgrade as Wagner publishes Serbian-language videos to encourage recruitment for the war in Ukraine; and abortion rights once again take centre stage in the United States as Americans reflect on what would have been the 50th anniversary of the overturned Roe v Wade ruling, the Supreme Court ruling which established the constitutional right to abortion.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other stories are Latika Bourke, an Australian journalist and author, and Dr Paul Lowe, a photographer, reader in documentary photography at London College of Communication, the University of the Arts, London.
