Counting Russia's dead in Ukraine

Russia has a history of extraordinary secrecy over its wartime losses. The number of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine is far higher than the official figures released by Moscow. We'll hear how BBC teams have been working painstakingly over the past few months, verifying and counting as many deaths as possible.

So far, 78 people are confirmed dead in the Greece boat disaster but hundreds more are feared missing, including as many as 100 children. We return to Greece and hear the latest on the search operation and how survivors have been reunied with their family members.

African leaders are in Ukraine on a peace mission where they are meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky today and will head to Russia tomorrow where they will meet with President Vladimir Putin, we'll hear reaction from the continent.
