We hear about Russians supporting the war in Ukraine and those against.

Ahead of an expected vote in the UN General Assembly about the war in Ukraine - which has its first anniversary on Friday - we go to Russia where it is Defender of the Fatherland Day. It's a celebration of the country's armed forces. How popular is Vladimir Putin inside Russia? We also hear from two Russian men escaping military service.

Also on the programme: the BBC Middle East correspondent in Nablus; and David Bowie’s archive at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
