Residents of the town of Slovyansk prepare to flee.

Fighting still rages in the east of Ukraine, as people prepare to flee the city of Slovyansk.

Also, as Britain and the world mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, the eminent historian, Simon Schama, gives his thoughts on the role of monarchy.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Nadifa Mohamed, a Somali-British novelist; and Yannis Palaiologos, a Greek journalist and European Union correspondent for Kathimerini, a daily newspaper in Athens.
