BBC World Service - BBC OS, January 6 hearings to begin

We explain some key things to know about the 2021 Capitol attack hearings

In the US, the congressional committee investigating the 6 January 2021 Capitol attack will be holding a series of public hearings to present its findings. We explain some key things to know about the hearings and find out how much interest there is in the country for televised hearings.

A self-styled court in the so-called Donetsk People's Republic in Ukraine has sentenced two British nationals and a Moroccan national to death. They were captured while fighting alongside Ukrainian troops. We get more details from our correspondent. 

We discuss how sexual violence is used as a weapon of war and look at the impact this has on the victims and communities. 

Please be aware, you may find some of the details distressing.
