BBC World Service - Newshour, Bangladesh explosion kills dozens

Nearly fifty people dead in fire that continues to rage close to Chittagong port

Nearly fifty people dead in fire that continues to rage close to Chittagong port.

Officials in Bangladesh say exploding chemical containers have hampered efforts to extinguish a blaze at a storage depot which has killed dozens of people. We hear from the scene.

Also on the programme, Russia uses missiles to strike the Ukrainian capital Kyiv -- meanwhile as Russian forces push on in the east, we'll hear about the hard choices facing people in the city of Slovyansk; and as four days of Platinum Jubilee celebrations come to an end, we'll reflect on Queen Elizabeth's enduring appeal.
