US President Donald Trump is promising to deport millions of undocumented migrants, many of them back to Mexico. We hear about preparations in one border city for thousands of repatriations. There are worries about the impact that might have. Also in the programme: how stand-up comedy is helping Ukrainians deal with the trauma of war; and as this year's Oscar nominations are announced - we talk to a director who has just been nominated for his first ever film.
