Russian forces have bombarded several Ukrainian cities including Lviv in the west, which had largely escaped unscathed until now. We get the latest developments form the ground. And we hear from our Ukrainian colleague and a regular guest on the programme, Vitalyi Shevchenko, who shares a personal story about how his mother and severely disabled aunt escaped the war with the help of two BBC listeners.  
 
And in Sri Lanka, the economic crisis and shortage of basic supplies has prompted a wave of protests. We speak to our correspondent has been to hospitals where doctors say they are running out of medicines and essential supplies. 
 
Also, in Zanzibar - off the coast of East Africa – the commission for tourism is investigating an allegation of sexual assault in a hotel made by a Nigerian woman. There’s been an uproar on social media with many women sharing their stories and tips about travelling alone. We reflect conversations taking place around the continent.
