Muted Response from the West to Putin Win

We report on the global response to Vladimir Putin's Electoral win

China, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Venezuela, Bolivia and Cuba all sent congratulations to the Russian President on his election win but there was little response from western countries. We hear reaction from inside Russia and across the world to the election result.

Also as U.S President Donald Trump unveils his plan to combat opioid drug addiction which includes the death penalty where appropriate, we hear from people in America with direct experience of the opioid crisis. And Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman who is due to meet President Trump today said in an interview he considered women and men to be equal. Saudi Arabian women share their views on the Prince's comments.
