War and death in Kharkiv

From Our Own Correspondent

Quentin Sommerville witnesses the tragic-yet-familiar reality of war in Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv. Leila Molana Allen discovers a sense of déjà vu, reflection and solidarity among Syrians, as they watch Russia’s shelling of Ukraine. On Australia’s east coast, Vivienne Nunis meet residents whose homes and businesses have been ruined by the recent flooding, and some who gambled on not needing flood insurance. And what’s it like to have a president as a neighbour? Jane Chambers goes property snooping in the bohemian neighbourhood of Barrio Yungay in Santiago, home to Chile’s new president, Gabriel Boric.
