Alexei Navalny faces force-feeding in jail

CLARIFICATION: This programme contains a report on so called ‘powerships’ in South Africa. In the report Zeynep Harezi, MD of Karpowerships says, “We will be operating our powerships with natural gas, liquified natural gas. That is 50% less emissions than coal, 30% less emissions than liquid fuels, so it’s the cleanest form of THERMAL electricity.” The word thermal was erroneously omitted from the report. Friends of the jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny say the authorities are threatening to force-feed him. Mr Navalny is on hunger strike to demand better medical care while in prison. Also in the programme: Brazil's intensive care wards are increasingly caring for people under 40 as the country's Covid crisis rages on; and police in Minnesota release bodycam footage from the officer who shot and killed a 20 year-old black man.
