BBC World Service - Weekend, Ukraine moves to retake Kherson

Ukraine launches attack to reclaim the strategically-important city of Kherson

Ukraine launches attack to reclaim the strategically-important city of Kherson.

As Ukrainian forces launch ground assaults in several parts of the strategic city of Kherson, what is life like for those living there?

Also, how a local Pakistani official helped save lives of her community during the devastating floods. 

And from doctor to patient: What his own cancer diagnosis taught a famous neurosurgeon about life and death.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Christos Christou, president of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) or Doctors Without Borders, the international humanitarian non-governmental organisation; and Ulrike Franke, Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations and a security and defence analyst.
