Classified UK government documents found at bus stop

BBC World Service - Newshour, Classified UK government documents found at bus stop

The government said this is a ‘serious breach’ and an investigation had been launched

One set of documents discusses the likely Russian reaction to the passage of a British navy ship through Ukrainian waters off the Crimea coast on Wednesday. Another details plan for a possible UK military presence in Afghanistan after the US-led NATO operation there ends. 

 Also in the programme: Bangladesh is introducing new stricter measures to bring down a surge in Covid-19 cases; and the Spanish Balearic island of Ibiza carries out an experiment to see if it can re-start its famous club scene.
