BBC World Service - Weekend, Russia braces for more protests

Protests expected across Russia; Europe at war over COVID-19 vaccines

Protests are expected across Russia in support of the jailed opposition activist, Alexi Navalny.  We hear from a one of his closest supporters and a former US ambassador to Moscow.

Also, the ongoing coronavirus vaccine war in Europe.

And US immigration policy under the Biden administration.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Latika Bourke, UK correspondent for the Sydney Morning Herald, a daily newspaper published in Australia; and Kevin Maguire, associate editor for the Daily Mirror, a national newspaper in the UK.
