BBC World Service - Weekend, The 'destruction' of Severodonetsk

A Senior Ukrainian official says Russian forces are destroying the strategic city

A Senior Ukrainian official says Russian forces are destroying the strategic city.

The governor of the Luhansk region, Serhiy Haidai, says Russian forces are 'destroying everything' in the key city of Severodonetsk, where both sides remain locked in a battle for control.

Plus, as celebrations continue to mark the Platinum Jubilee of the Queen's reign, we go Down Under to see how they are making the occasion. 

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Aida Alami, a Moroccan journalist based in Rabat; and Emile Chabal, a historian specialising in twentieth century European politics and intellectual life who teaches at the University of Edinburgh.
