BBC World Service - From Our Own Correspondent, War and death in Kharkiv

The realities of war in Kharkiv, plus stories from Syria, Australia and Chile.

Kharkiv's frontline battle; Syrians watch war in Ukraine with a sense of déjà vu; the clean up after Australia’s floods and Chile’s new president chooses to live among the people.

Quentin Sommerville witnesses the tragic-yet-familiar reality of war in Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv. 

Leila Molana Allen discovers a sense of déjà vu, reflection and solidarity among Syrians, as they watch Russia’s shelling of Ukraine.

On Australia’s east coast, Vivienne Nunis meet residents whose homes and businesses have been ruined by the recent flooding, and some who gambled on not needing flood insurance.  

And what’s it like to have a president as a neighbour?  Jane Chambers goes property snooping in the bohemian neighbourhood of Barrio Yungay in Santiago, home to Chile’s new president, Gabriel Boric.
