BBC World Service - Weekend, Russia holds self-styled referendums in Ukraine territories

Russia holds discredited referendums in Ukraine's occupied territories.

Russia is holding discredited referendums in the occupied areas of Ukraine. The referendums have been widely condemned as a sham.

Russians continue to flee their country in a bid to avoid President Vladimir Putin's conscription exercise to boost the faltering Ukraine war effort.

Also, in the programme the remarkable Syrian refugee story seeking to change perceptions on the plight of migrants.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other topical issues of the day are Lina Khatib the Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at the foreign affairs thinktank, Chatham House and Silio Boccanera a London-based Brazilian journalist, who's spent almost 40 years as a foreign correspondent.
