Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
We're coming to you live from London.
I'm Leila Nathu.
In just over 10 minutes time, we will speak to Wagner Moura,
star of The Secret Agent, which has been nominated for four Oscars.
He tells me why he was drawn to his character, a man caught up in the turmoil of 1970s Brazil.
For me,
he's just a man who's trying to stick with the values that he has in a moment when everything around him says the opposite.
I love this about this character.
He's not a freedom fighter.
He's not a revolutionary.
He doesn't want to overthrow the government.
He's just a man who wants to be himself.
But first on the programme, Ukrainians are looking ahead to a grim milestone.
Tomorrow marks four years since Russia mounted its full-scale invasion of their country.
Russian attacks show no sign of abating, and Ukraine continues to count its casualties.
Kiev accuses Moscow of merely going through the motions of peace talks,
with demands for Ukraine to cede further territory, proving a roadblock to a ceasefire.
