Ukraine reclaims key industrial centre

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

There's been a cautious welcome after Russian troops retreated from the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson. It's a hub of strategic and economic importance for the country. Businesses operating there tell us the celebrations come amid a continuing sense of unease. Elsewhere, one former wartorn nation eyes up a prosperous future. East Timor, still reeling from the conflict it endured two decades ago, could be set to join the ASEAN alliance of countries. Also on the programme: talks of a mass migration of Twitter users; and why Elon Musk's plan to end hybrid working may provide the boost to productivity he desires.
