Ukraine: Russian strikes kill 15 people

Rescuers are combing through destroyed buildings in Ukraine which has suffered one of its heaviest Russian bombardments of the war so far.

At least fifteen people have been killed in Ukraine after a night of heavy Russian bombardment. Ukraine's air force says more than six-hundred drones and missiles were fired by Moscow - the second highest number since the war began. The EU accused Russia of targeting it after its diplomatic mission in Kyiv was hit.

Also in the programme: President Trump sacks the head of the US Centres for Disease Control; the epic journey of a pregnant Sudanese woman across her war ravaged country; and we hear from New Orleans on the twentieth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
