BBC World Service - Newshour, Mariupol steelworks battle in final phase

Ukrainian defenders say Russian ground forces have entered the site

Ukrainian defenders say Russian ground forces are inside the steelworks.

A Ukrainian military commander inside the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol has accused Russian troops of violating a promised three-day ceasefire as they continue their attack. We speak to a military analyst who says the Russians are likely to take full control of the plant in the next few days. 

Also in the programme: rising interest rates around the world are putting an end to the era of cheap money; and we ask how the World Health Organisation calculated that nearly 15 million people have died as a result of Covid.
