Transgender women's football ban

The FA in England has banned transgender women from women's football.

Transgender women will no longer be able to play in women's football in England from 1 June, the Football Association has announced. We hear a conversation between a transgender female footballer and her coach.

The US and Ukraine have signed a deal that will give Washington access to some of the war-torn country's natural resources. BBC Ukraine's Irena Taranyuk gives analysis, and we hear reaction from two Ukrainian MPs, as well as voice messages from two people living there.

Last week, militants killed 26 people in a attack near the tourist town of Pahalgam, in Indian-istrated Kashmir. India has accused the Pakistani government of ing the militants behind the attack. Pakistan says they have "credible evidence" India is planning to launch a military strike. We speak to a young couple in the UK, who - one being Pakistani Muslim, and the other, Indian Sikh - have to navigate the tensions between the two countries.
