Russia accuses Ukraine of deliberate attack on seaside resort

Newsday

Available for 29 days

Russia says it was a deliberate strike by Ukraine on civilians in broad daylight, with seven people, including three children being killed in a drone attack on a Russian seaside resort. Ukraine has so far not commented on yesterday's strike. Major European rivers are running low as record low rainfall and high temperatures continue to plague much of Europe. And we hear from Ethiopian men in a Saudi prison facing execution. Presenters: James Copnall and Catherine Byaruhanga.
