It was Alexei Navalny's first public appearance since his three-week hunger strike ended.

Alexei Navalny looked gaunt and thin as he appeared by video in court on a further charge of slander. Meanwhile his supporters have started preemptively closing their regional offices in case volunteers are imprisoned. Also in the programme: Turkey is beginning a new national lockdown as it records the highest Covid-19 infection rate in Europe; and aid has arrived in India to help the country deal with its second wave.
