Vladimir Putin set to replace Sergei Shoigu as Russia defence minister.

Russia's President Putin removes his long-standing ally Sergei Shoigu as his defence minister. What does it mean for the war in Ukraine?

Also on the programme: Israel marks memorial day for its fallen soldiers as the war in Gaza grinds on; and a prominent Tunisian lawyer has been arrested in the latest move of a presidential administration that has shown little tolerance for criticism.
