BBC World Service - BBC OS, Ukraine: Reports from Bucha

Our correspondent gives an astonishing account of the sole survivor of a Russian shooting

Our correspondent gives an astonishing account of the sole survivor of a Russian shooting.

We get an update from Ukraine and one of the places that has been severely impacted from the Russian invasion, Bucha, a commuter town on the outskirts of Kyiv. In May, the BBC learned of hundreds of people shot there in what a senior police official described as executions in the Bucha region outside Ukraine's capital Kyiv. Our correspondent gives us a view of just some of the many people he's spoken to in the area and the astonishing story of the sole survivor of a Russian shooting there.

Sri Lanka is facing its worst economic crisis in more than 70 years.  In the last few hours the energy minister has issued a stark warning over the country's fuel stocks, and families are going hungry, many are joining foodbanks for the first time to feed their children. Two people from the country tell us how the crisis is impacting them.

America’s ongoing crisis with gun violence is once again in the spotlight following the shooting at a July 4 parade in Highland Park, Illinois. Governor Jay Robert Pritzker has warned that mass shootings have now become a “weekly American tradition”. We hear from two young Americans dealing with the reality of mass shootings in their country, and hear how their lives are being impacted by the violence.

We get updates from our BBC Africa reporter on Ethiopia where a fresh round of attacks against ethnic minorities in the west of the country has left ‘many’ villagers dead. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has called it a  "massacre".
