Russian troops are moving closer to the centre of Ukraine's capital Kyiv as missile strikes against the capital continue. A series of powerful explosions rocked some residential districts of Kyiv last night, killing at least two people. Roughly one third of Kyiv residents have not left. Other cities are under fierce siege by Russian troops. We get the latest from Kyiv and our Tim Franks is in Lviv talking to people there. We also interview a former Russian prime minister, now in exile, about the growing danger of protests against the Kremlin.

Also on the programme: The British-Iranian aid worker, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe – who has been detained in Iran for more than five years – has been given her passport back; and a court in India has upheld a ban on wearing the Hijab at school, following weeks of protests.
