2022/10/10 16:06 GMT: Russian families divided over mobilisation

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Russian families divided over mobilisation

Mobilisation of reservists has divided families in Russia

We’ll hear the effect of Russia's partial mobilisation on one young woman who is terrified about her brother's safety and has had arguments with her father. Also, a member of the older generation in Russia takes us through the reaction of families he knows.

President Putin says a wave of missile strikes across Ukraine was in response to an explosion at a bridge linking Russia to occupied Crimea. We'll hear from people in the cities that were affected and use the expertise of our colleagues to get an overview of the military situation after the latest developments.

We'll hear about the anger among the Gambians over the deaths of 69 children who died from kidney damage caused by cough syrups.

The BBC's Latin America and Caribbean Editor will be telling us about the protests in Cuba over new blackouts, gang violence in Haiti and landslides in Venezuela.
