Ukraine crisis: Macron says Putin pledges no new Ukraine escalation
Russia has assembled more than 100,000 troops near its borders.

Also on the programme: Over 900,000 deaths and counting, why is the US Covid death rate so much higher than in other rich countries? And the retired Pope Benedict admits to "errors in the handling of child abuse cases" before he became Pontiff, when he was the Archbishop of Munich.
