Russians leaving after troop call-up

We hear from Russians who are leaving or protesting against call-up of extra troops

Large numbers of Russians have been leaving their country, a day after President Putin announced a mobilisation of some military reservists to fight in Ukraine. We find out about the situation at the borders and hear from people who are trying to leave or who are protesting.

We bring a conversation with Iranian women outside the country discussing the protests in Iran, sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini.

We continue to hear about the impact of the economic crisis on everyday life in Lebanon. We speak to a cancer patient whose medicine isn鈥檛 available in the country anymore and to an oncologist who sees patients that can鈥檛 afford their care.
