BBC World Service - BBC OS, Navalny's widow vows to continue husband's work

Yulia Navalnaya said her husband was killed because President Putin couldn't break him

Yulia Navalnaya said her husband was killed because President Putin couldn't break him.

Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, released a video calling on supporters to stand with her and blamed President Vladimir Putin for her husband's death.  The Kremlin has rejected the accusations. Prison authorities say Mr Navalny suffered "sudden death syndrome" at a remote Arctic prison on Friday. We hear more from our Russia expert and from an opposition activist. 

This week it will be two years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and we'll be bringing conversations with Ukrainians living through the war. Today three women share why they decided to have babies in wartime Ukraine. 

Police in Papua New Guinea say they'll use all necessary force to quell an outbreak of tribal violence in the country's highlands. It follows the killing of dozens of men in an ambush. We find out what happened. 

With Donald Trump’s launch of his own line of sneakers, we hear from collectors and others who have decided to order the gold-coloured shoes sold online for $399.
