Police in Haiti are reportedly trying to arrest gang leader Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Chérizier.

Police in Haiti are reported to have launched an operation to arrest the leader of the coalition of gangs which now control most of the capital. Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Chérizier is seen as the main instigator of the protests which forced the Prime Minister, Ariel Henry, to resign last week. We hear from a former US diplomat to Haiti.

Also in the programme: People in Russia are casting their ballots on the second day of a vote; and Mad Women- a new play about three women artists, living with bipolar disorder.
