BBC World Service - BBC OS, US urges diplomacy over Ukraine

We hear the conversation in Ukraine over fears of Russian invasion

On a visit to Ukraine, the US Secretary of State has urged Russia's President Putin to choose a diplomatic path out of the crisis which has raised concerns over a Russian invasion. We'll speak to a Ukrainian radio host to find out how he is reporting the story and what his listeners are telling him.

After the volcanic eruption and tsunami cut Tonga off from the global internet, we'll talk about the challenges of reconnecting an undersea cable with an expert in the field.

We'll hear a conversation between people who have chosen not to get a coronavirus vaccination in France, Greece and the Philippines, as they all face new restrictions on their lives because of their vaccine status.
