About this episode

A rare glimpse into life in Russian occupied Ukraine. We hear about the dire conditions in the town of Oleshky near the city of Kherson. Also in the programme: we speak to a left-wing French MP after 1,800 people were arrested in France during protests and rioting on Saturday; and the musicians who blend Celtic folk music with singing from Cameroon.
