Battle intensifies in the Donbas region

President Zelensky said up to 100 Ukrainian soldiers are dying a day in the Donbas region.

Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has said the Russian offensive in Donbas could leave the region uninhabited. We hear how Ukranian forces are trying to repel the Russian offensive with artillery.

Meanwhile in Russia some families are complaining of how their sons were forcibly conscripted and sent to Ukraine against their wishes after just a few months of training.

In the United States after Tuesday's massacre of nineteen children and two teachers in Texas there's been criticism of the police response -- and we hear from the pro-gun lobby still resisting tougher gun controls.
