Reports from the frontline in Ukraine and Alligator Alcatraz, the US immigration detention centre. Ukraine has this week come under its heaviest bombardment in weeks, with the UK and the EU summoning their Russian envoys after their offices in Kyiv were hit. Quentin Somerville has been in Donetsk, the area Vladimir Putin wants to fully control in the resource rich region of the Donbas, as residents flee attacks and soldiers tell of the intensification of the battle there. In the US, a record number of people are being held in immigrant detention, following President Trump’s crackdown. One controversial site has become the subject of several lawsuits: Alligator Alcatraz in Florida. A judge recently ordered the temporary closure of the centre while she hears evidence on its environmental impact. The ruling has been appealed but the department of ��ѿ��ýland Security has confirmed it has started moving detainees out. Josephine Casserly reports from the centre, which sits on an abandoned airstrip amid the marshes, mangroves and wildlife of the Everglades. Finland is marking 80 years since the creation of the Moomins. The hippo-like troll cartoon characters were a huge export for decades, featured in newspaper comic strips around the world and then a popular TV cartoon show.
