Ukrainian parliament to vote on controversial law restricting Ukrainian Orthodox Church

BBC World Service - Weekend, Ukrainian parliament to vote on controversial law restricting Ukrainian Orthodox Church

This is taking place because of its supposed connections to the Russian Orthodox Church.

Ukraine's parliament is likely to approve a law that some say could limit the Ukrainian Orthodox Church because of its supposed connections to the Russian Orthodox Church. 

Also in the programme: Fifty thousand participants are expected at the London Marathon today. Organisers are anticipating a record-breaking time in the elite women's race featuring world record-holder, Tigst Assefa from Ethiopia, while also paying tribute to the late Kelvin Kiptum, last year's fastest-ever male winner. And Taylor Swift's latest album 'The Tortured Poets Department', has set a new record for Spotify's highest single-day streams.

Joining presenter Julian Worricker are Hannah Ajala Rahman, a journalist, speaker and award-winning podcast host  and Dr Manu Lekunze, a lecturer in international relations at the University of Aberdeen who studies the security of states.
