Sri Lanka's fugitive president Gotabaya Rajapaksa is now in Singapore but has yet to resign.

Protests to force him out came to a head earlier this week - forcing him to flee. In the last few hours, protesters in Colombo have started leaving government buildings.

Also in the programme: at least 20 people, including three children, have been killed in the latest Russian missile strikes in Vinnytsia in central Ukraine; and we hear from the foreign minister of the Pacific island of Tuvalu on the threat of climate change and China鈥檚 influence in the region.
