BBC World Service - Weekend, Putin blamed for Navalny's death

Biden says Vladimir Putin is 'responsible' for the opposition politician's death

Western leaders have condemned Russia's President Putin over the sudden death in prison of one of his fiercest critics, Alexei Navalny.

Also in the programme: As Israel inches closer to its assault in Rafah, we learn more about what this could mean for Egypt; and we hear from the mother of one of the Israeli hostages held by Hamas, 23 year old Hersh Goldberg-Polin, about on his family's efforts to bring him home.

Joining Krupa Padhy to discuss all this and more are Olga Oliker, Crisis Group’s Program Director for Europe and Central Asia, and Tom Nuttall, a senior editor on The Economist‘s digital team.
