BBC World Service - World Update, Martial Law Vote After Ukraine-Russia Clash

Ukraine parliament to make decision over whether to bring in martial law

Ukraine's parliament is to decide whether to bring in martial law, after the capture of three of its naval vessels by Russia.

The three ships were sailing off the coast of Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014, when they were seized. Also on the programme: Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May is pushing MPs on all sides to back her Brexit deal and British academic Matthew Hedges has been pardoned by the UAE after being jailed for spying charges.
