Fighting has broken out on the streets the Ukranian capital Kyiv.

Ukranian authorities say fighting has broken out on the streets of Kyiv, hours after President Zelensky said Russian forces were preparing to storm the capital.

Also in the programme The International Committee of the Red Cross has warned that Afghanistan is inching towards economic collapse six months after the Taliban seized power.

Joining Anna Holligan to discuss these and other issues are Julie Norman, Lecturer in Politics and International Relations and Director of the BSc programme in Politics and International Relations at the University College London, and Nick Kochan, a contributing editor to Thomson Reuters regulatory Intelligence and author of books on corruption and money laundering.
