Ukraine war: Young people

How have the lives of young people in Ukraine been affected by the war?

Around the world, children are getting ready to go back to school, but in Ukraine many schools have been destroyed, and most students will have to continue to study online. Two students and a teacher share experiences of the war on their lives.

We hear about the situation at the Russian-occupied nuclear plant in Ukraine and talk about the reports that Russia is planning to switch over the Zaporizhzhia plant to Russia's power grid.

Turkish singer Gulsen has been arrested for making an apparent joke about former students of Turkey's Islamic schoools. We hear audio messages from people who have been talking about the story on social media.

Britney Spears has made her musical comeback and released a duet with Elton John. We hear what some of her fans think about her new music.
