Intense fighting in eastern Ukraine

As Ukrainian forces hold out against Russia's offensive in the east, even, in some cases, pushing Russian forces back, a Ukrainian member of parliament tells us where he sees the war going. We also hear from our reporters, gathering evidence of war crimes, and on the front line with Ukraine's volunteer fighters. Also in the programme: how sandstorms are ripping through Iraq and beyond; and a breath of optimism from one of Lebanon's new independent MPs..
