US pressures on Ukraine to sign a peace deal with Russia intensifies

The US has temporarily suspended Ukraine's access to some satellite imagery

The United States has stepped up its pressure on Ukraine by limiting the country's access to commercial satellite imagery. The Trump administration has already cut off military aid and intelligence sharing to Ukraine to force a peace deal.

Also in the programme: Heavy flooding expected after cyclone Alfred was downgraded in Australia; the circumstances surrounding the death of Hollywood legend Gene Hackman's have been been made public, and Asteroid-sized moon rocks and giant fluorescent cat sculptures have turned central London into an intergalactic cosmic playground for Londoners.

Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by author and historian, Shrabani Basu and James Rodgers, reader in international journalism at City University in London.
