International anger over Russian expulsions

BBC World Service - Weekend, International anger over Russian expulsions

EU leaders condemn the removal of three diplomats, for their alleged support for Navalny

EU leaders condemn the removal of three diplomats, for their alleged support for Navalny.

European leaders condemn Russia's decision to expel three diplomats, in a growing row over the treatment of the opposition leader, Alexei Navalny.  

Also on the programme: a plea to allow aid into Ethiopia's war-torn Tigray region, we hear from the head of the Norwegian Refugee Council, Jan Egeland and as LGBT+ history month is marked, we hear about the struggles some people still face in coming out about their sexuality.

To talk about these stories and many more we are joined by Celia Szusterman, who is the director of the Latin America Programme at the Institute for Statecraft in London and James Lynch, founding director of FairSquare Research and Projects, which provides expert analysis on a range of human rights issues.
