BBC World Service - Newshour, Putin critic Navalny handed further jail term

The opposition leader is found guilty of further offences.

A court in Russia has sentenced the jailed opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, to a further lengthy term behind bars in one of the country's strictest prisons.

Imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has told supporters not to lose the will to resist, after his jail term was extended to 19 years.

Also on the programme: Ethiopia has declared a state of emergency in the Amhara region where fighting between the army and local militias has worsened; and we hear from oceanographers worried about the surging temperature of the world's seas.
