Zelensky: Bribery in military procurement is "absolutely immoral"

The arrests come just two days after Ukraine's anti-corruption agencies had their independence restored.

In Ukraine four people have been arrested after investigations by anti-corruption agencies uncovered what they say is a large-scale bribery scheme. They say it's connected to the buying of drones and warfare systems used by the military.

Also in the programme: A new film "Late Shift" about nursing which is already a box-office hit in German speaking Europe is opening here in the UK and Ireland this week. Petra Volpe, the film's director tells us why she focussed on nursing; and, the story of The Waiting Room about a little baby who was wrapped up and left in the ladies waiting room on the Reading Station platform.

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.
