Ukrainian troops destroy ‘all Russian positions’ to liberate town & EU chief's plane 'forced to land blind after Moscow jams GPS’

Day 1,287.


Today, as a Nato leader meets with Vladimir Putin while Ukraine
is subjected to the latest wave of Russian drone strikes, we look
at the ongoing Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in China
that is attempting to rewrite the global security order. Plus, we
examine quite what happened to European Commission President
Ursula von der Leyen’s plane, after suspected Russian
interference, and hear the latest in the cyber war.
