Zelensky appeals again for more weapons

The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, again urged Ukraine's allies to supply more air defences after Saturday's deadly attack in Kharkiv.

Also today: more foreign nationals are being evacuated from the Pacific territory of New Caledonia following nearly two weeks of unrest; and a report from the Cannes Film Festival, where the grandson of the great Swedish director Ingmar Bergman has made his debut.

Today’s guests are Verashni Pillay, a South African journalist and founder of the Explain news portal, and Marco di Nunzio, Associate Professor in Urban Anthropology at the University of Birmingham in the UK.
