People evacuated from the devastated Russian-occupied city of Oleshky have arrived in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed. Residents of the frontline city had been trapped without food, water and electricity, with many resorting to cooking garden weeds to survive. The evacuees were taken out of Oleshky on Friday during a local ceasefire, brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump, before travelling through Russian occupied territory to southern Russia. Also on the programme: the US has agreed to sell Ukraine Patriot missiles, but what is behind America's shifting attitudes to Ukraine?; and another day of demonstrations in Paris as we speak to one of the founders of the Yellow Vest protest movement - to unearth their demands.
