BBC World Service - Newshour, Ugandan president signs anti-gay law

The new law is among the harshest anti-LGBTQ laws in the world

Homosexual acts are already illegal in Uganda but the new law is among the harshest anti-LGBTQ laws in the world

Activists in the country have called it a “dark day”. We speak to one LGBT activist about how the community will be affected. 
 
Also on the programme: Russia launches a daytime attack on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv; and Turkey wakes up to five more years of Erdogan.
