Russia moves to recognises Ukraine separatist regions

BBC World Service - Newsday, Russia moves to recognises Ukraine separatist regions

Western powers fear Putin's recognition empowers Russian troops to enter Ukraine.

President Putin's decision to send what he called "peacekeeepers" into Ukraine has  been condemned at a meeting of the United Nations Security Council, with the US calling it a pretext for a further invasion. 

The US is imposing sanctions on the Russian backed rebel territories - but should President Biden go further - we will hear from a former White House Official.

Celebrations in Colombia as it becomes the latest Latin American nation to legalise abortion.

And as elections continue in India's most populous state we will go to a small town which could hold the key to the polls.
