BBC World Service - Weekend, The key city of Lyman is back in Ukrainian hands

Ukraine takes back control of the key eastern city of Lyman

Ukraine takes back control of the key eastern city of Lyman.

Ukrainian forces take control of the key eastern city of Lyman forcing Russian troops to withdraw in what appears to be a humiliating set-back to its campaign in the east. We have the latest from Kyiv.

Also, view from Moscow on what happens next to the annexed Ukranian territories of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.

Plus the latest on the Ebola outbreak  in Uganda where authourities are battling to bring it under control. So far 31 people have died from the disease.

And the touching story of a Canadian family  taking a world tour  before three of their four children go blind.

Joining Audrey Brown to discuss these and other issues are Isabel Hilton, founder of China Dialogue - a digest that looks at the environment and politics in China; and Sadakat Kadri, a human rights lawyer and journalist.
