US President says Russian attack on Ukraine remains a possibility

BBC World Service - Newsday, US President says Russian attack on Ukraine remains a possibility

Biden announced Russia has now amassed around 150,000 troops on the border with Ukraine.

US President Joe Biden has said that a Russian attack on Ukraine "remains very much a possibility", and the human cost would be "immense". During a televised address, Biden announced that Russia has now amassed around 150,000 troops on the border with Ukraine. Russia's Defence Minister Sergey Shoygu has said some forces have withdrawn, but Biden claims this has not been verified. We hear what Russia's finance minister makes of the situation.


For the first time ever, a gun company in the US has been ordered to pay compensation to the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre. We hear from a mother whose 6 year old son was killed that day. 

And we go to Ethiopia where a state of emergency has been lifted.
