BBC World Service - BBC OS, Floods in Russia and Kazakhstan

Evacuation orders have been issued to more residents of southern Russia and Kazakhstan

Evacuation orders have been issued to more residents of southern Russia and Kazakhstan.

Thousands more people have been told to leave their homes in southern Russia and Kazakhstan as flood waters continue to rise. We hear from local people and speak to our correspondent from BBC Russian. 

We speak to our BBC Middle East correspondent Lina Sinjab who left her home in the Syrian capital Damascus in 2013, soon after the start of the civil war. She talks to us about travelling back home for the first time in years and finding a country both very familiar and utterly changed.

With nearly one year of war in Sudan, we bring together people who have had to flee the fighting. 

We go to Michigan where parents of a teenage boy who shot and killed four classmates in 2021 at a high school near Detroit, are scheduled to be sentenced for their separate manslaughter convictions.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
