Biden calls on Congress to renew aid to Ukraine

President Biden has stepped up calls for the US Congress to pass a huge package of military aid for Ukraine, after Russian forces captured the town of Avdiivka. He said Washington's inaction had left Ukraine's troops without enough ammunition.

Also in the programme: Fears that the conflict in the east of DR Congo could turn into a regional war; and the Maori leader heading to New Zealand's high court in what could be a new chapter in climate law.

Joining Krupa Padhy to discuss all this and more are Catherine Barnard, professor of European Union law at the University of Cambridge in the UK, and Jean-Patrick Bimeni, (known familiarly as JP), a musician born in the East African state of Burundi, who's now based in the UK.
