Ukrainian MPs brawl after Zelensky reverses anti-corruption law & Russia deploys rocket-powered drones

Day 1,254.


Today, after protestors once again gathered across Ukraine, we
look at today’s parliamentary vote to reinstate the independence
of anti-corruption agencies. Plus, as Donald Trump’s latest
deadline for a ceasefire approaches, we ask if his patience is
actually running out as he warns Dmitry Medvedev is “entering
dangerous territory” by criticising the President’s words. Later,
Francis Dearnley speaks to one of the small teams of American
servicemen and women quietly experimenting with the future of
warfare.
