Russian forces are in the city as they continue to try to capture Ukraine's Donbas region.

Russian forces are in the eastern Ukrainian city of Severodonetsk as they continue to try and capture the Donbas region. According to the regional governor, troops are pushing toward the centre of the city. Our security correspondent talks through what is happening on the ground in Ukraine.

Also, EU leaders are struggling to resolve their differences over a proposed ban on Russian oil imports. We explain why some countries like Hungary oppose an oil embargo. And our Eastern Europe correspondent, Sarah Rainsford, joins the programme to talk about her reporting from Ukraine.

We go to Nigeria to find out more about the kidnapping of the head of the Methodist Church who has been abducted along with two other priests. 

We bring you up to date with the latest news on the monkeypox virus. Cases have now been reported in 23 countries outside Africa, with 257 confirmed infections.

And the US Department of Justice will investigate the police response in last week’s school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. We get more details from a local reporter.
