Russian forces expand their attacks in Ukraine
Russian forces have widened their attacks in Ukraine, targeting cities across the country
Russian forces have been expanding their attacks in Ukraine. The central city of Dnipro was hit by three Russian air strikes, damaging an apartment block and a kindergarten and the mayor of Kharkiv says the city is under non-stop bombardment.
Also in the programme: the economic effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine are being felt across the world. We hear from Africa, where Russia and Ukraine are the world鈥檚 largest exporters of wheat and corn; and, two years after Covid-19 was declared a pandemic, research suggests the true death toll may considerably higher than thought.
