We hear about the human toll of the Ukrainian war as the country marks three years since its full invasion by Russia.

Also in the programme: Voting is underway in Germany鈥檚 general election, we get a view from East Germany; and the Vatican says Pope Francis who is suffering from double pneumonia spent a peaceful night in hospital.

Joining presenter Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories of the day are Stefan Meister, the Head of the Center for Order and Governance in Eastern Europe, Russia and Central Asia at the German Council of Foreign Affairs, and Emma Graham Harrison who is senior International Affairs Correspondent at The Guardian & The Observer newspapers.
