Newshour - A podcast by BBC World Service

Russian forces are tightening their grip on the eastern Ukrainian city of Severodonetsk. We hear from a former resident whose neighbours are refusing to leave. Also in the programme: votes are being cast in parliamentary elections in France; and an African conservationist explains why he is opposed to British plans to ban big game trophy-hunting imports.
