Vigils held for Putin's most prominent critic, Alexei Navalny

A review of the week with the latest news.

Demonstrations and vigils have taken place near Russian embassies in many countries to express outrage at the death in custody of President Putin's most prominent critic, Alexei Navalny. Some Russians also defied the authorities to lay flowers in memory of Mr Navalny.

Also in the programme: Greece legalises same-sex marriage; and Trump ordered to pay $354m to New York for lying to banks.

Joining Krupa Padhy to discuss all this and more are Olga Oliker, Crisis Group’s Program Director for Europe and Central Asia, and Tom Nuttall, a senior editor on The Economist‘s digital team.
