Zelensky: Kursk incursion part of "victory plan"

Ukraine's president said its purpose was to force Russia to end the war on fair terms.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenksy says the incursion into Russia's Kursk region is part of a victory plan he intends to present to US President Joe Biden next month. Mr Zelensky said the main point of the plan was to force Russia to end the war on fair terms. He said it would be up to Mr Biden whether to give Kyiv what was needed to achieve this.

Also in the programme: we speak to a Bedouin Arab community leader and friend of hostage Farhan al-Qadi who was rescued from Gaza by Israel's military today; and the plan by Namibia to kill hundreds of wild animals and use the meat to feed its drought-stricken people.
