Russian Exiles In UK Contacted Over Safety

Police in the UK are concerned over the safety of UK based Russians.

Police in the UK have begun to contact a number of Russian exiles to discuss their safety as the investigation into the murder of the businessman Nikolai Glushkov continues. The former Aeroflot executive had been given asylum in the UK in 2010, and the UK had blocked several attempts by Russia to extradite him. Also on the programme a former colleague of the late astrophysicist Professor Stephen Hawking discusses his concerns over the development of AI and the current editor of National Geographic discusses the sometimes problematic coverage of race in the magazine's past.
