UN Catch-Up Dateline Geneva: Ukraine update, World Press Freedom Day and Roger Rabbit

Download

In this week’s show, two in three children in Ukraine have now had to flee the war since the Russian invasion, UNICEF takes no pleasure in telling us, while UN humanitarians have confirmed they’re now helping some 300 evacuees who’ve been bussed out of the devastated Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol. And as refugee numbers rise globally, we’ll be finding out what soul legend Dionne Warwick thinks about this growing global emergency.

Also, to mark World Press Freedom Day earlier this week, we got in touch with pencil-sharp political cartoonist Patrick Chappatte, for his assessment of the dangers facing journalists. As ever, co-host Solange Behoteguy Cortes will be on hand to wrap things up, with a little help from Roger Rabbit.
