US Congress expected to approve long-awaited aid for Ukraine
A huge $61-billion package of military aid is to go to a vote shortly.

Also in the programme: we’ll hear from an anti-mass tourism protest in the Canary Islands; and how the ruling BJP has had a slick social media operation ahead of the elections there.
