Ukraine marks its Independence day - 35 years after the break up of the Soviet Union. Ahead in the programme we take a look at how its economy spiraled long before the conflict with Russia, even though it inherited a vast industrial base and resource rich lands. We speak to the grandmother of Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old girl shot and killed along with her family by the IDF. Israel now admits its soldiers were responsible and launched an investigation - 2 years after the tragedy. And the BBC's caught red-handed once again fabricating a supposed Russian threat. We break down the details later in the programme.
