Putin set to remove Russian defence minister

BBC World Service - Newsday, Putin set to remove Russian defence minister

Sergei Shoigu, a close Putin ally, has been in the role since 2012

Russia's defence minister, Sergei Shoigu, is being removed from his post and will be replaced by an economist. We'll ask what the move could mean for the war in Ukraine.

Rescue efforts continue in northern Afghanistan after flash floods killed more than 300 people and destroyed more than a thousand homes. We'll go there live.

The US Secretary of State has again warned of the disastrous consequences of a full-scale Israeli assault on the Gazan city of Rafah. We'll speak to a retired Israeli military colonel.

And as South Africa's murder rate hits a 20-year high, we'll be out on the streets of two parts of the country with the volunteer patrols trying to bring order where the police have not.
