Arrests made at Navalny’s funeral

BBC World Service - Weekend, Arrests made at Navalny’s funeral

Crowds chanted anti-Putin slogans as Alexei Navalny was buried in Moscow

Crowds chanted anti-Putin slogans as Alexei Navalny was buried in Moscow.

More than a hundred people are reported to have been arrested across Russia as they marked the funeral of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. We hear from a mourner.

Also on the programme: A UN mission has found a large number of gunshot casualties in Gaza's biggest hospital. And we speak to the leader of a Chadian opposition party in the wake of the sudden death of a leading critic of the country's military leader. 

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are H.A. Hellyer, senior associate fellow in international security studies at the Royal United Services Institute, and Australian author and journalist Latika Bourke.
