BBC World Service - Newshour, US Congress expected to approve long-awaited aid for Ukraine

A huge $61-billion package of military aid is to go to a vote shortly.

After months of delay, the US House of Representatives is poised to vote on tens of billions of dollars in American military aid for Ukraine and Israel. The aid could reshape Kyiv’s war effort. We hear from Kyiv where every minute counts. 

Also in the programme: we’ll hear from an anti-mass tourism protest in the Canary Islands; and how the ruling BJP has had a slick social media operation ahead of the elections there.
