Russian warship fires shots at boat in English Channel & Putin 'hiding in bunkers' as popularity plummets

Russian warship fires shots at boat in English Channel & Putin 'hiding in bunkers' as popularity plummets

Day 1,573.

Today, after a Russian warship fires warning shots at an unarmed vessel in the English Channel, we take you to the G7 Summit, where observers are describing a “turning point” in perceptions of Ukraine’s progress in the war, as it continues to batter Russian infrastructure and strangle Crimea. We hear live from the ground about what has been unlocked for Kyiv, and later – in our regular segment on life inside Russia – we ask why Vladimir Putin may (or may not) be cracking down on organised crime at a time when public dissatisfaction is reportedly growing and his popularity plummeting.
