President Zelensky says a fierce battle is underway in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine.

Ukraine's President Zelensky says heavy fighting has been taking place in the Kharkiv region after Russian forces tried to break through defensive lines. Residents are being evacuated from the town of Vovchansk near the border, due to Russian shelling.  

We speak to our security correspondent about Israel's operation in Rafah in Gaza and hear from an MSF official in the city. 

We talk to people who have left Myanmar - where the military government has been battling an increased opposition in the country's ongoing civil war.

We learn that China hasn’t bounced back from the Coronavirus as had been expected and is missing foreign tourists. 

We talk about the history of politics in the European song contest. 

Presenter: James Reynolds.
