North Korea reportedly sending troops to fight with Russia in Ukraine

A review of the week with the latest news.

Ukraine has demanded a strong reaction from its allies following reports by South Korean intelligence that North Korea has sent troops to help with the Russian war effort. We speak to Jenny Town, director of the Korea programme for the Washington-based thinktank The Stimson Centre.

A two-week study of a shipwreck thought to be the 235-year old L'Aurore is currently underway off the coast of the east African state of Mozambique. The ship was used during the slave trade but became a mass grave in 1789 after 331 people died due to crew failing to release slaves in the lower deck when a storm hit the boat.
We ask one of the archaeologists on the team, Celso Simbine, what they are trying to achieve with their research.

Our guest Patricia Cumper, writer, playwright and theatre director discusses in the current debate in the UK over a potential new law on assisted dying while Oli Brown, an expert on environmental change and conflict, comments on the latest comic-book about how global warming is drastically changing our planet.
