Russia carries out overnight attacks in Ukraine

Russia has carried out overnight missile and drone attacks in six regions of Ukraine after the Ukrainian army forged ahead with its six-day-old ground incursion in western Russia. We speak to a Ukrainian MP.

Also on the programme: the French sports minister, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, on the legacy of the Paris Olympics; and the new documentary about the singer and actress Liza Minnelli.

Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by Chandrika Kaul, professor of modern history at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, and Samuel Ramani, associate fellow at the defence and security think tank the Royal United Services Institute.
