As signs of a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine mount we gauge the mood in the country. Orysia Lutsevych heads the Ukraine Forum in the Russia and Eurasia programme at Chatham House, and brings us her perspective. And we speak with Oleg Chernyak, who works for a software development company CHI Software, based in Kharkiv, but with offices around the country. Also in the programme, last weekend's underwater volcano eruption in Tonga caused a devastating oil spill thousands of miles to the east in Peru. Simeon Tegel is a freelance reporter based in Lima, and discusses the implications. Plus, the trend of "lying flat" is catching on among young Chinese who are opting out of competitive careers. The 大象传媒's Ed Butler reports on the phenomenon.
