Ukraine: Mariupol evacuations

The authorities hope to evacuate more people from the city.

Ukrainian authorities hope to evacuate hundreds of people from Mariupol, which is almost fully under Russian control. The story around the evacuations is confusing, so we try to get to the bottom of how many people have actually managed to get safely away from the city and its steelworks - and how many remain.

We hear a conversation between American women who have had an abortion. We also continue to answer your questions on the potential impact of the leaked Supreme Court ruling which could mean the end of the right to get an abortion in the United States.

And we go to Sri Lanka to hear an update on the ongoing economic crisis affecting people there.
