International calls for release of Alexei Navalny

BBC World Service - Newsday, International calls for release of Alexei Navalny

The Russian opposition leader has been sentenced to nearly three years in prison

The Russian opposition leader has been sentenced to nearly three years in prison.

The British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has become the latest world leader to demand that Russia immediately release Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and the hundreds, possibly thousands, of his detained supporters. We look at what effect this could have and we also speak to the great-granddaughter of Nikita Khrushchev. 

We get an update on the military coup in Myanmar, where supporters of Aung San Suu Kyi have called for civil disobedience. 

And the UN says more than 200,000 people have fled their homes in the Central African Republic since the conflict erupted last month. Rebel forces now control two-thirds of the country. We have an update.
