Ukraine war: Children sent to Russia

We hear about mothers who have gone to Russia to get their children back.

The BBC has uncovered new evidence of the treatment of thousands of Ukrainian children who were removed to Russia from care homes and schools in occupied parts of Ukraine. Some mothers spent months trying to locate their children, and had to travel deep into Russia to take them home. Our correspondent has been investigating.

Two Iranian female journalists who helped break the story of Mahsa Amini's death in custody in September have gone on trial. Our BBC Persian colleague explains.

We hear about a defamation case in Australia a former soldier has brought against three newspapers over articles that he says paint him as a callous man who had broken the moral and legal rules of war.

Our reporter explains why US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has threatened to leave Twitter.

We speak to woman in London who is fed up of tourists from around the world turning up on her doorstep because of a mix up on a booking website.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
