Biden allows Ukraine to strike inside Russia with US missiles

US President Joe Biden has given the green light for Ukraine to use long-range missiles supplied by US to strike Russia.

US media say President Biden has made a major policy change, by letting Ukraine use long-range missiles to hit targets deep inside Russia. Ukraine's leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, has long called for the change. There's been no confirmation from the White House.

Also in the programme: An Israeli airstrike in central Beirut is reported to have killed Hezbollah鈥檚 media chief; Russian opposition protestors take to the streets in Berlin; and a proposal in the new Zealand parliament, which would impact the rights of Maoris there.
