BBC World Service - Newshour, Several Hundred Arrested in Moscow Protests

Opposition leader Alexei Navalny among those detained in anti-corruption rally

Opposition leader Alexei Navalny among those detained in anti-corruption rally.

Thousands of Russians have taken part in anti-corruption rallies across the country, in defiance of the authorities. The biggest protests were in Moscow, where activists say at least seven hundred people (including opposition leader Alexei Navalny) were detained. We hear from an opposition activist and our correspondent in Moscow.

Also on the programme: Who the House Freedom Caucus are and why they are crucial for President Donald Trump to pass legislation; and the first ever woman to manage an Italian men's football team.
