BBC World Service - Newsday, Ukraine: Russian forces continue battle for last Mariupol outpost

Russian forces battle for the final outpost held by Ukrainian fighters in Mariupol

Russian forces continue to battle for the final outpost of the Ukrainian fighters defending the port city of Mariupol.

In Ukraine, local fighters are still trying to hold off Russian forces surrounding the Azovstal steel plant - preventing the invaders from taking over complete control of the port city of Mariupol. 

The British government has been dealt a blow by voters in local elections - which some are blaming on the scandal over senior Conservative party officials, including the Prime Minister Boris Johnson, flouting Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.

Plus we hear how plans to build the Great Green Wall in Africa's Sahel region to mitigate climate change have fallen short of the mark.
