Is Ukraine about to win a war no-one thought they could? And, consequently, are Vladimir Putin's days numbered?The tide seems to be turning Europe's most significant war in eight decades. Ukrainian forces moved at lightning pace over the weekend to recapture their towns from a beleaguered Russian army in the north-east of the country.

We speak to broadcaster and journalist Gabriel Gatehouse.And, we look across the North Sea to Sweden, and their nail-biting election result on Sunday night.
