Police say remains found in Amazon are those of Dom Phillips.

Police in Brazil confirm that the remains found in the Amazon are those of the British journalist Dom Phillips.

Also, voters in France are heading back to the polls this weekend with President Emmanuel Macron at risk of losing his outright majority in parliament. 

And we speak to a Ukrainian MP about his country's prospects of joining the European Union.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Jill Rutter, a former senior civil servant, now a Brexit specialist at the UK in a Changing Europe and Institute for Government thinktanks; and Dr Bates Gill, American-born professor of Asia-Pacific Security Studies at MacQuarie University in Sydney and Senior Associate Fellow with the Royal United Services Institute in London.
