Listen to this article
Russia has expelled three diplomats from Germany, Sweden and Poland for joining protests in support of opposition activist Alexei Navalny, who was jailed earlier this week. The Russian foreign ministry said the three took part in “illegal demonstrations” on 23 January. The diplomats’ home countries have condemned the expulsions, as have the UK, France and the EU.

Also on the programme: why protesting Indian farmers can’t agree to the government’s new plans for them; and a day after the prominent Lebanese writer Lokman Slim is shot dead – we speak to his widow.
