BBC World Service - BBC OS, Ukraine crisis: Talks with Russia continue

Political leaders have further meetings to try and de-escalate tensions

Political leaders have further meetings to try and de-escalate tensions.

With Russian forces conducting major military manoeuvres in Belarus and the Black Sea, the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, is visiting Brussels and Warsaw in support of NATO allies. Britain’s foreign secretary is also holding talks in the Kremlin with her Russian counterpart. We look at the diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions between Russia and its neighbour Ukraine. 

Also, our reporter in India tells us about schools banning the hijab, or headscarf, in the southern state of Karnataka. The ban has sparked ongoing protests and clashes between Muslims and Hindus.

And we hear two people talk about why they decided to deliberately catch Covid-19. We examine the beliefs and justifications behind their decisions, with our regular health experts.
