BBC World Service - BBC OS, Ukraine: Guilty verdict in war crimes trial

We hear about the first war crimes trial since Russia's invasion of Ukraine

A court in Ukraine has sentenced a Russian tank commander to life in jail for killing an unarmed civilian, in the first war crimes trial since Russia's invasion three months ago. We get details from our correspondent in the capital Kyiv. 

Monkeypox cases have been found in 15 countries outside of Africa, where the virus is most common. We hear what is known about the outbreak and about new advice some countries are issuing.

We go to South Africa where people have been evacuated amid heavy rains in KwaZulu-Natal province, which suffered its worst flooding in three decades last month. 

And, three people in Turkey, Afghanistan and Lebanon tell us about the impact of rising prices on their everyday lives.
