Severe shortages in Nagorno-Karabakh

Journalist Siranush Sargsyan, who lives in the enclave’s de facto capital Stepanakert, claims that shortages of food, power and medicine have created a humanitarian crisis in the city in the wake of the ceasefire between Azerbaijan and separatist authorities. Azerbaijan says it is sending aid to the region.

Also on the programme: US Senator Bob Menendez is charged with taking bribes from the Egyptian government, some in the form of exercise equipment and air purifiers; and Canada doubles down on its claims that Indian government agents were involved in the murder of a Canadian Sikh activist.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are barrister, journalist and author Sadakat Kadri and Lina Khatib, Professor of Politics and International Studies at SOAS.
