Red Cross issues warning over landmines in dam-flooded Ukraine

The Red Cross is warning that landmines that were dislodged when Ukraine's Kakhovka dam was destroyed are likely to pose a significant threat.

Our top story on the programme this hour: the huge damage caused by the breaching of a dam in southern Ukraine as tens of thousands are displaced - and the impact will be felt for many years to come - we speak to a prominent environmental campaigner, and also the head of Ukraine's national railways about the damage to this vital part of the country's infrastructure.

We hear about a new-old contender to be the Republican party candidate in next year's US elections - former vice president Mike Pence - but can he outpoll his boss-turned-rival Donald Trump?

And we have a story about a virgin birth making waves in the scientific community - the mother is a female crocodile living alone in a zoo in Costa Rica.
