Ukrainian President speaks following Bucha visit

Ukrainian President speaks following Bucha visit.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has addressed the UN Security Council for the first time, following a visit to the city of Bucha where Russia has been accused of war crimes over civilian killings. Our correspondents react to his appearance, and we hear an interview with a local journalist who has travelled to Bucha. 

Our reporter also talks us through what we know about the Wagner group, a Russian paramilitary organisation which officially doesn’t exist. British military intelligence says mercenaries from the secretive group have been seen moving into eastern Ukraine. 

In other news, more than 40 MPs have left Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's coalition government. Economic crisis there has led to power cuts and fuel shortages, and we hear voices from protesters in the country as they demand President Rajapaksa's resignation.
