In Hungary, voters will go to the polls on Sunday to decide whether to Hungary鈥檚 prime minister Viktor Orb谩n gets a fourth consecutive term in office. It will be Europe鈥檚 first parliamentary election since Russia invaded Ukraine and Mr Orb谩n has often been criticised for his close links to Russian president Vladimir Putin. Justin Webb reports from Budapest on how the war has overshadowed the election.

Also on the programme was Zoltan Kovac, the Secretary of State for International Communications in the Orb谩n government. Justin also looked back at the history of Russia鈥檚 relationship with Hungary and how the Soviet Union crushed an uprising in 1956. He spoke with poet and refugee George Szirtes who was forced to flee.
