India's "cockroach" protests

Pascale Harter introduces stories from India, Iran, Ukraine and Argentina.

The Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP, is now one of India's most visible youth movements, driving tens of thousands of students to take to the streets to protest about education, corruption, and a lack of job opportunities. Azadeh Moshiri met demonstrators in central Delhi.

The missile strike on a school in Minab in February, on the first day of the US-Israel war in Iran, is still under investigation. At least 156 people were killed. Nawal Al Maghafi has been to the site of the school and spoken to some of the bereaved.

In strategic terms, Ukraine's position on the battlefield has been looking stronger in recent weeks, although Russian forces are still advancing in the Donbas region. But within Ukraine, public opinion's been fiercely divided over President Zelensky's moves to reorganise the military chain of command. Sarah Rainsford explains what lies behind the backlash to a new recruitment drive and the changes to the men in charge.

Around two-thirds of the population in Argentina has in Italian heritage - and now some are looking for ways back to their roots, hoping to work or settle in Italy once again. In Buenos Aires, Jane Chambers explored the ways back - from language schools to WhatsApp groups for those seeking jobs in Europe.
