Trump freezes $2bn in Harvard funding

We hear from students to get their reaction to the White House freezing federal funds.

The Trump administration has said it is freezing more than $2bn in federal funds for Harvard University after the elite college rejected the White House's demands. We explain the story with our reporter in the US and speak to Harvard students to get their reaction.

We speak to our Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg about a Russian hairdresser who has been sentenced to five years in jail for spreading false information about the war in Ukraine, in a case brought after she was denounced by a neighbour.

And today marks two years since the start of the devastating civil war in Sudan, with fierce fighting continuing and a growing humanitarian crisis. We hear from people in Sudan about their lives two years into the war.
