BBC World Service - Newshour, Zelensky visits Kherson after dam destruction

Ukrainian officials warn of serious long-term consequences for agriculture

Ukrainian officials warn of serious long-term consequences for agriculture in the region.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has gone to the Kherson region to see the scale of the chaos unleashed by the destruction of a dam. Ukraine says more than two-thirds of the flooded land is in Russian-occupied territory on the left bank of the Dnipro river. We get the latest from Kherson and an assessment of the cost of the damage.

Also in the programme: a man with a knife has attacked nursery-school children in the French town of Annecy; and Singapore apologises to Malaysia over a joke about flight MH37 that went missing in 2014 and has never been found.
