Cost of living protests in Nigeria

Protests are being held in the Nigerian cities of Oyo and Ibadan.

Protesters in Nigeria are angry at the high rate of inflation, driven largely by high food prices and the government's decision to end a long-running fuel subsidy. We hear from some of the protesters and speak to our correspondent in the country.

The UN's top court has heard accusations from the Palestinian foreign minister that decades of Israeli occupation has led to discrimination and apartheid. Our correspondent explains.

Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, released a video calling on supporters to stand with her and blamed President Vladimir Putin for her husband's death. The Kremlin has rejected the accusations. We hear more from our Russia expert and from an opposition activist.

This week it will be two years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and we'll be bringing conversations with Ukrainians living through the war. Today three women share why they decided to have babies in wartime Ukraine.
