The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has and continues to impact the region of Eastern Europe dramatically. With correspondent Sarah Rainsford, Qasa looks at how reporting on the region has changed since the war. Are other stories being lost or sidelined as the war continues to dominate news agendas? Over to You also look at how the World Service is going about countering the spread of disinformation, going behind the scenes of BBC Monitoring, and looking at the launch of BBC News Magyarul and Romania. We also assess how BBC News Polska has fared a year on from its launch. A Whistledown Production.
