Download After Gaza, is Trump turning his attention to Ukraine?
After a peace agreement in the Middle East, is President Trump now turning his attention back to the situation in Ukraine? Victoria and James are joined by BBC filmmaker Jane Corbin to ask what, if anything, has changed when it comes to peace efforts in Europe.
And - we hear about some of the more unfamiliar jobs created by the war in Ukraine. Journalist Richard Pendry has been embedded with military recruiters pursuing draft dodgers, and one of the men responsible for informing families of the deaths of their loved ones in battle.
Today’s episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire and James Waterhouse.
The producers were Laurie Kalus and Julia Webster. The technical producer was Mike Regaard. The social producer was Sophie Millward. The series producer is Chris Flynn. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
