Navalny Jailed, Myanmar Coup, Captain Sir Tom

BFBS Radio Sitrep - A podcast by BFBS Radio - Thursdays

Five months ago Vladimir Putin’s most prominent critic was almost killed in a nerve agent attack — now he’s been jailed for 3-and-a-half years. Alexei Navalny says it’s Putin’s punishment for surviving the poisoning — and a warning to the huge crowds who’ve joined protests in more than a-hundred cities. But what should the west do about it? And how much will countries like the UK be willing to do? We look at the coup in Myanmar that’s seen Aung San Suu Kyi deposed and locked up. And we report on a new warning about the state of much military accommodation, and claims it’s worsening a retention crisis in the forces. Plus we look back at the extraordinary life of Captain Sir Tom Moore, after his death this week at the age of 100.
