Ukrainian residents evacuate from eastern Ukraine
We report on the evacuations in the region under constant Russian drone attacks.
We have a report from the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, which has long been in Moscow's sights. Vladimir Putin has reportedly said he'll freeze the war in return for full control of it. Russia already controls 70% of Donetsk and nearly all the neighbour Luhansk. We look at the evacuations in the region as drone attacks rage.
President Trump has once again threatened to send National Guard troops into another Democratic stronghold, the city of Baltimore. The Maryland state governor, Wes Moore, had criticised him over his deployment of military personnel in Washington DC and his plans to do the same in Chicago and New York.
And we report from Eswatini where three non-governmental organisations are taking legal action to challenge the government’s decision to accept five men deported from the United States.
