Russian referendum plan for Ukraine condemned by observers

BBC World Service - Newsday, Russian referendum plan for Ukraine condemned by observers

The regional security body, the OSCE, said any such polls would have no legal force.

The European security body, the OSCE has added its voice to the condemnation of plans by Moscow's proxy states in Ukraine to hold referendums on joining Russia.

Moscow will hold four referendums in parts of Ukraine it at least partly controls on joining Russia; western countries have rejected the plan, as has Ukraine - we speak live to a Ukrainian defence specialist.

We hear from the head of one of the world's biggest humanitarian organisations - he's deeply concerned that the war in Ukraine might last many years, and has few easy solutions.

And our correspondent has found some chilling details about the last moments of the Argentinian footballer Emiliano Sala, who died in a plane crash three years ago.
