Pressure increases on Russia to clarify Navalny’s death
Pressure increases on Russia to clarify Navalny’s death
More than three days after his death, the body of the Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, hasn't been returned to his family. Meanwhile, there is increasing pressure on President Putin for a full and transparent investigation into Mr Navalny's death. Finland is one of the countries making that demand – we hear from their Foreign Minister.
Also in the programme: the international diplomatic row between Brazil and Israel and its consequences; and the online campaign that wants to bring the Easter Island statues in the British Museum back to their original home.
