Kherson: After the Russian Retreat

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, Kherson: After the Russian Retreat

After the initial celebrations, the hunt for Russian collaborators begins in Kherson

Russia's retreat from Kherson was greeted with jubilation, but the occupiers left a legacy of suspicion and mistrust. The hunt for Russian collaborators is now underway.

Kate Adie presents stories from Ukraine, the West Bank, Pakistan, the US and the Faroe Islands.

Jeremy Bowen was in Kherson in Ukraine shortly after the Russian withdrawal, but he found that occupation and liberation can lead to suspicion and division.

There is unease among Palestinians living in the hamlets of Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank, as the new Israeli government takes shape. Its predicted that far right politicians, who have campaigned to strengthen Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, will be awarded positions in the new cabinet. Yolande Knell spoke to villagers there. 

Samira Hussain attends one of the rallies of former PM Imran Khan on his March to Islamabad, and meets him again after an assassination attempt a fortnight later - wounded, but determined to continue his political fight.

In New York, there's a population explosion - of rats. The Mayor has a plan to tackle the problem, but there's more to the expanding rat population than meets the eye, finds Laura Trevelyan.

And in the Faroe Islands, Tim Ecott is in amidst a sheep mustering where he learns about local traditions, and the desire to be self-sustainable in an unpredictable world.
