The Russian opposition activist has been sentenced to over two years in prison.

Over 10,000 people have been taken into custody in Russia for supporting the opposition leader Alxey Navalny, who has been jailed for two-and-a-half years. We speak to someone who, like many others, tried to get to the courtroom,  Nina Khrusheva is an academic, writer and also the great granddaughter of the former Soviet Premier, Nikita Khruschev.

The bushfires are back in Australia. We're live in Perth,battered by high winds and flames.
