Final day of voting in Russia

BBC World Service - Weekend, Final day of voting in Russia

Moscow accuses Ukraine of trying to disrupt the election with drone attacks.

Russia is holding the third and final day of voting in a presidential election that's expected to keep Vladimir Putin in power for another six years. Moscow has accused Ukraine of trying to disrupt the election with drone and missile attacks inside Russia and in Russian-occupied territory in Ukraine.
And people are living longer, but are societies ready to accept the contributions made by those who are well past the usual retirement age? 
To discuss those topics and more, today’s guests are Stephanie Baker, a senior writer at Bloomberg News in London, and Christopher De Bellaigue, a historian and journalist.
