Merkel: "unequivocal proof" Alexei Navalny poisoned with Novichok nerve agent.

There is "unequivocal proof" that Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent, Germany has said. Chancellor Angela Merkel said he was a victim of attempted murder.

Also in the programme: the Venezuelan writer who walked more than 500 kilometres back home in the middle of the pandemic; and scientists say they've detected a huge gravitational shockwave, caused by the merger of two black holes.
