Drone team in Kurakhove
Drone team has bombed tanks, armoured fighting vehicles and ammunition dumps but still Russians are on the move.
A drone team go in search of the enemy. They set off in a dirt-covered vehicle towards the eastern Ukrainian city of Mariinka, occupied by Russia since December. They unload a large drone. And then they fly it in darkness across the frontline, above a ghostly landscape of fields and ruined houses, towards the twinkling city of Donetsk. The drone carries a deadly arsenal of six grenades.
The team prepares the drone before training outside the frontline city of Kurakhove

'We're like sisters' - meet the Londoners who are hosting refugees this Christmas
Colette Fleming pictured at her east London home with Ukrainian refugee Olena Zotsenko. With the help of charity Refugees at Home, generous Londoners have opened up their houses to people fleeing persecution around the world. Celebrities including Gary Lineker have signed up with the charity, which has brought an extraordinary group of people together this Christmas.
Colette Fleming and Olena Zotsenko
From her 15th floor flat in the North of Kyiv, Olena Zotsenko could see the Russian army invading her hometown out of the window.
Over in East London, legal secretary Colette Fleming, 54, was watching on the news. Colette had always loved living alone, and thought she'd never want to share her flat in Plaistow. But watching the bombardment of Ukraine, she started to change her mind.
Colette contacted Refugees at Home. As a woman living by herself, she wanted to make sure to get someone who was a good fit for her, and they put her in touch with Olena.
Bureaucracy delayed Olena's move by months. When it finally came through. Colette travelled to Warsaw to meet Olena from the train, to make her feel more welcome. Together, they flew back to her new home.
Colette asks her not to, Olena likes to help around the house: she helps clean, and cooks borscht once a week. The pair watch TV together, and Colette helped with Olena's CV - after months of trying, Olena got a job at Metrobank. They will have a quiet Christmas together, as Olena saves up money in the hope of going back to see her family and fiancé again soon. Both agree they are "more like sisters" now.

'We're like sisters' - meet the Londoners who are hosting refugees this Christmas
Nuns from Faithful Companions of Jesus (FCJ) in east London with one of two El Salvadorian refugees who live in their convent. Left to right: Katherine O'Flynn, Bernadette O'Malley, Anouska Robinson-Biggin refugee Stefanie Padilla, Gloria Calabrese and Teresa White. With the help of charity Refugees at Home, generous Londoners have opened up their houses to people fleeing persecution around the world. Celebrities including Gary Lineker have signed up with the charity, which has brought an extraordinary group of people together this Christmas.
Colette Fleming and Olena Zotsenko
From her 15th floor flat in the North of Kyiv, Olena Zotsenko could see the Russian army invading her hometown out of the window.
Over in East London, legal secretary Colette Fleming, 54, was watching on the news. Colette had always loved living alone, and thought she'd never want to share her flat in Plaistow. But watching the bombardment of Ukraine, she started to change her mind.
Colette contacted Refugees at Home. As a woman living by herself, she wanted to make sure to get someone who was a good fit for her, and they put her in touch with Olena.
Bureaucracy delayed Olena's move by months. When it finally came through. Colette travelled to Warsaw to meet Olena from the train, to make her feel more welcome. Together, they flew back to her new home.
Colette asks her not to, Olena likes to help around the house: she helps clean, and cooks borscht once a week. The pair watch TV together, and Colette helped with Olena's CV - after months of trying, Olena got a job at Metrobank. They will have a quiet Christmas together, as Olena saves up money in the hope of going back to see her family and fiancé again soon. Both agree they are "more like sisters" now.

'A free and dignified life': the regional Australian communities welcoming refugees.
More than 320 refugees have resettled since August 2022 under a pilot program that includes a year of community support.
'We are very grateful for all the help from the Bendigo community,' says Afghan refugee Sakineh, who came to Australia with her teenage sons under the community refugee integration and settlement pilot.
Sakineh and her family were granted residency in Australia six months ago.
After fleeing the war in Afghanistan and seeking refuge in Iran, the widowed mother-of-two settled in Bendigo in Victoria's north along with her teenage sons. It was a world away from the turmoil she'd come to know.

An obscure island grave: fate of deadly EU migration route’s youngest victim
Case of Alhassane Bangoura in Lanzarote highlights Europe-wide failure as authorities struggle to cope with scale of deaths.
Stretching less than a metre in length and covered in the ochre-coloured soil that dots the Canary island of Lanzarote, large stones encircle the tiny mound. There is no tombstone or plaque; nothing official to signal that this is the final resting site of the infant believed to be the youngest victim of one of the world's deadliest migration routes.
Instead, two bouquets of plastic daisies adorn the grave, along with a granite bowl engraved with his name, Alhassane Bangoura, hinting at the impact his story had on many across the island. His mother, originally from Guinea, was among three pregnant women who joined 40 others in an inflatable raft that left Morocco in early January 2020. After running out of fuel, the flimsy raft was left to the mercy of Atlantic currents for three days.
So far this year, a record 35,410 migrants and refugees have arrived on the shores of the Canary Islands - a 135% increase over last year. More than 11,000 of them landed at the tiny island of El Hierro, home to just 9,000 people.
The surge in those risking the perilous route has transformed the archipelago into a microcosm of the wider strain playing out across the EU as authorities struggle to deal with the bodies of those that die on their way.

Instead, two bouquets of plastic daisies adorn the grave, along with a granite bowl engraved with his name, Alhassane Bangoura, hinting at the impact his story had on many across the island. His mother, originally from Guinea, was among three pregnant women who joined 40 others in an inflatable raft that left Morocco in early January 2020. After running out of fuel, the flimsy raft was left to the mercy of Atlantic currents for three days.
So far this year, a record 35,410 migrants and refugees have arrived on the shores of the Canary Islands - a 135% increase over last year. More than 11,000 of them landed at the tiny island of El Hierro, home to just 9,000 people.
The surge in those risking the perilous route has transformed the archipelago into a microcosm of the wider strain playing out across the EU as authorities struggle to deal with the bodies of those that die on their way.

An obscure island grave: fate of deadly EU migration route’s youngest victim
Case of Alhassane Bangoura in Lanzarote highlights Europe-wide failure as authorities struggle to cope with scale of deaths.
Stretching less than a metre in length and covered in the ochre-coloured soil that dots the Canary island of Lanzarote, large stones encircle the tiny mound. There is no tombstone or plaque; nothing official to signal that this is the final resting site of the infant believed to be the youngest victim of one of the world's deadliest migration routes.
