Hundreds of Ukrainian drones hit St Petersburg

Newshour

Available for 18 days

The strikes on the city were timed to coincide with the final day of a prestigious international economic forum. Russian authorities called the attack 鈥榰nprecedented鈥, and St Petersburg residents were advised to remain indoors for the first time since the start of the war. We hear from a Ukrainian drone commander and the UK鈥檚 former Ambassador to Moscow, Sir Tony Brenton. Also on the programme: migrants in South Africa under pressure to leave the country after a surge in xenophobic attacks; and why mass banquets are causing controversy in France.
