BBC World Service - Newshour, Ukraine says tens of thousands have died in war

President Zelensky says 31,000 troops killed since Russia's full-scale invasion

President Zelensky says 31,000 troops and tens of thousands of civilians have been killed since Russia invaded. His defence minister, Rustem Umerov, added that the slow delivery of arms and ammunition was causing a loss of life and land. We hear from Brazil after tens of thousands of supporters of the former Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, gathered in São Paulo's main avenue. It was the first major demonstration of its kind since Mr Bolsonaro left office just over a year ago. 

Also in the programme: a leading political editor gives us his take on accusations of islamophobia in the UK's Conservative Party; and we hear from a modern-day jazz-band leader who’s composed a tribute piece to wartime women musicians.
