We hear experiences of the war from people with disabilities and health conditions

We hear experiences of the war from people with disabilities and health conditions.

We’ll hear how people in Ukraine with medical conditions and disabilities have been struggling during the war – often facing medicine shortages and problems with access to bomb shelters and evacuation routes.

Also, the Russian defence ministry says it has carried out missile strikes targeting Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, warning that attacks like this will intensify in retaliation for what it called Ukrainian "terror attacks" or "acts of sabotage" in Russia. It came hours after it admitted that the Moskva warship had sunk following an explosion on Wednesday. We'll bring you the latest on what's happening across the country, and also bring you the story of a Ukrainian graffiti artist turned war crimes investigator.

And we’ll have an update on the devastating floods in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province – more 340 people have lost their lives and dozens are still missing. We'll speak to people there who have been affected.
