BBC World Service - Weekend, Gun battles in Kyiv

Fighting has reached the streets of Ukraine's capital city

Fighting has reached the streets of Ukraine's capital city.

Day breaks in Ukraine to the sound of a gun battle on the streets of the capital, Kyiv.

Also, it's been a long and sleepless night for many hiding in their homes or underground shelters.

Plus, thousands are on the move feeling to safety.  We hear from two young sisters who made it to Hungary.

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 University College London, and Nick Kochan, a contributing editor to Thomson Reuters regulatory Intelligence and author of books on corruption and money laundering.
