Why Russia is suffering more losses than Ukraine on the front-line

Ukraine's former top general claims Russia can no longer make advances.

Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi made the comments in an exclusive interview, his first since he was dramatically forced from his post in the summer. He addressed his sacking, disagreeing with his critics who declared him too "old school" to command Ukraine's new, technologically advanced forces.

Also on the programme: The International Monetary Fund says the global economy is doing better than expected - but may soon be "tested"; and if A-lister Tom Cruise can't even sell movie tickets, is Hollywood in trouble?
