BBC World Service - BBC OS, Wada Lifts Ban on Russia

The World Anti-Doping Agency has lifted its ban on Russia.

The World Anti-Doping Agency has lifted its ban on Russia, which was introduced in 2015 amid a scandal over state-sponsored doping.

We discuss the decision by the World's Anti-Doping Agency to lift the suspension of Russia.
Also today: The Ugandan rap star turned opposition politician, Bobi Wine, has returned home. He received treatment in the United States for injuries he alleges he received while in police in custody.We’ll watch the media reaction in Uganda.
We also speak to a passenger who was on a domestic flight in India, when crew forgot to flick a switch regulating cabin air pressure. Oxygen masks were deployed and some passengers were bleeding from their ears and noses.
