This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.

I'm Jeanette Gillil, and in the early hours of Sunday, the 20th of August,

these are our main stories. Ukraine is dealing with the aftermath of a Russian missile attack on

the city of Chenyiv, which killed at least seven people. The leaders of last month's coup in Niger

meet a West African delegation for the first time in a last-ditch diplomatic effort to find a

peaceful solution. Two Israelis have been shot dead in the occupied West Bank.

Also in this podcast, there is no other river in the whole world where at the source,

there are turkey vultures and beavers and bears, and then at the end you see the statue of liberty.

At least seven people, including a six-year-old child, were killed by a Russian missile strike,

which hit a central square in the northern Ukrainian city of Chenyiv on Saturday.

Dozens more injured in the huge blast, which caved in the roof of a regional theatre

and blew out its windows. President Zelensky posted footage of the badly-damaged building

and wrecked cars nearby, urging the world to stand up to what he called Russian terror.

Zhenyiv is close to the border with Belarus. It was occupied by Russia after last year's invasion,

but later recaptured by Ukrainian troops. From there, James Waterhouse sent this report.

You are immediately drawn to what has borne the brunt of this missile attack.

The neoclassical building that is Chenyiv's regional theatre. The roof is heavily damaged,

and the windows have been blown out. Neighboring buildings either caught fire

or had roof tiles blown off. The number of casualties reflects the timing of the strike,

and the fact that air-raid sirens aren't always acted upon, because of how often they sound.
