We hear a conversation between 4 Ukrainian students nearly a year on since the war began

We hear a conversation between four Ukrainian students nearly a year on since the war began.

We hear from Daryna, Ilona, Anastasiya - three students who had to flee their home country of Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion - and Sophie, who was already living in London at the time, about their experiences nearly one year on since the war began. They sit down to tell us what they remember of the 24th February 2022, in the Ukrainian restaurant in London called Mriya - which means "hopeful dream" in Ukrainian.

We hear from our colleagues in Nigeria's biggest city, Lagos, ahead of the elections this weekend, where voters will go to the polls to elect their next president. We also hear voice messages from Nigerians who have left the country on why they decided to move on. 

And our correspondent Yolande Knell gives us the latest updates following air strikes in the Gaza Strip carried out by the Israeli military, after Palestinian militants in the territory fired rockets at southern Israel.
