G7: Global peace "at risk"
In a virtual meeting, G7 leaders have said irresponsible nuclear rhetoric risked global peace
The G7 leaders have held an emergency virtual meeting in response to Russian missile and drone strikes this week. They told the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, who also attended the meeting, that they were ready to support his country for 'as long as it takes', adding that global peace and security is at risk because of "irresponsible nuclear rhetoric". We’ll hear from more voices of people in the Ukrainian cities that have been hit by the airstrikes. Our security expert will also tell us about the assessment by the head of the UK’s intelligence agencies on the war in Ukraine.
From the United Arab Emirates we'll explore the latest case in Dubai to reveal rifts within the ruling family. Lawyers for Zeynab Javadli, the former wife of Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, have lodged a request to the UN Human Rights Council, asking authorities in the UAE to ensure Zeynab Javadli and her children's safety. His lawyers have argued Ms Javadli is an unfit mother, which she has denied.
As protests continue in Iran, we'll hear a conversation with Iranian journalists who took the decision to leave their country to be able to continue practising their profession more freely. They'll share their experiences of working in and out of Iran and reflect on the ongoing protests across the country.
We also get the latest updates from Haiti, following anti-government protests there, where one woman was reportedly killed, and demonstrations turned into looting.
