Pressure in St Petersburg

World at One

Available for 29 days

As President Putin gives a major speech, we'll assess how Moscow and Kyiv are viewing the war. Our Moscow correspondent, Steve Rosenberg and former British Ambassador Sir Tony Brenton join us live. A new report from MPs warns that the asylum system is dysfunctional. We'll hear from the chair of Parliament's Public Accounts Committee. And, while your plants are loving the rain - so are the slugs that feast on them. We'll hear advice for gardeners from the Royal Horticultural Society.
