Nearly four million people from the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, and the southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, are being asked to attend polling stations and vote in so-called referendums on joining Russia. We hear what people in Ukraine feel about the discredited referendum. We also report on Russians trying to leave their country after President Vladimir Putin's order to mobilise hundreds of thousands of reservists for the war in Ukraine.

Also on the programme, there's been continued protests in Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini after she was detained by the morality police over the way she was wearing her headscarf. We鈥檒l speak to people who have been arrested by the Iranian morality police.

We鈥檒l also hear from people in Japan with opinions about Shinzo Abe鈥檚 state funeral. Polls suggest more than half of the country's population were against it.
