Nato to step up with challenge to support Ukraine

Outside Source

Available for 23 days

We speak to our correspondent in Ukraine about the latest on the ground and about Nato's continued assurances that the alliance will be able to support the country's war effort. It comes as UK announced an urgent new air defence package for Ukraine. After polls closed in Bangladesh’s first election since the student led protests of 2024, we hear from young voters about what the result could mean for the country’s future. And one of the most read stories on BBC Online is about a man who says he was dead for 40 minutes - and what he experienced afterwards. We hear similar accounts. Presenter: James Reynolds.
