Ukraine arrests officials for corruption

Four suspects have been arrested, including one MP from Zelensky's party

President Zelensky has described bribery in military procurement uncovered by Ukraine's anti-corruption agencies as "absolutely immoral".

Also in the programme: Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed shock at the videos released by Hamas in which two hostages, Evyatar David and Rom Braslavski are shown looking emaciated and weak; and, Africa is known for having some of the longest serving leaders in the world, but how long is too long? Patience Akumu, a Ugandan lawyer and social justice campaigner, joins us.

Our presenter Rebecca Kesby is joined by Negah Angha, a US State Department and National Security Council official under the Biden administration and Matthew Green, a British journalist and author.
