Protests taking place across Russia

BBC World Service - Weekend, Protests taking place across Russia

Anti-Putin demonstrations across Russia; vaccine rows across Europe

Protests are taking place across Russia today in support of the jailed opposition leader Alexi Navalny, we hear for his chief of staff.

And should Britain share some of its vaccine supplies with its crisis-hit European neighbours?

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.
