Zelensky appeals again for more weapons

BBC World Service - Weekend, Zelensky appeals again for more weapons

Ukrainian President says more weapons are needed from its Western allies

The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, again urged Ukraine's allies to supply more air defences after Saturday's deadly attack in Kharkiv.
 
Also today: more foreign nationals are being evacuated from the Pacific territory of New Caledonia following nearly two weeks of unrest; and a report from the Cannes Film Festival, where the grandson of the great Swedish director Ingmar Bergman has made his debut.

 
Today’s guests are Verashni Pillay, a South African journalist and founder of the Explain news portal, and Marco di Nunzio, Associate Professor in Urban Anthropology at the University of Birmingham in the UK.
