The strategically important city in the south of Ukraine has been besieged for six weeks.

The strategically important port city in the south of Ukraine has been besieged for six weeks.

We hear about weeks of devastating assaults on civilians in the besieged port city of Mariupol that has changed the minds of Ukrainians with previous allegiance to neighbouring Russia. 

South Africa is bracing for more heavy rain in districts hit by massive and lethal downpours earlier this week. So far, more than 340 people have died in flooding in and around the eastern coastal city of Durban in recent days. 40,000 more have reportedly been affected, with homes washed away or destroyed. 

Also in the programme, tension remains high in the cities of Jenin and Ramallah on the West Bank after six Palestinians are killed by Israeli forces in 24 hours.
