Estonia and European Union condemn Russian incursion

Estonia has described the incursion into its airspace by three Russian fighter jets on Friday as the most serious violation since it joined the NATO alliance more than 20 years ago. Russia's defence ministry has denied violating Estonian airspace.

Also in the programme: Russia today hosts the Intervision song contest, a rival to Eurovision; and the BBC's chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet, speaks about her book on the plight of Afghanistan's people.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss this and more are Alex Von Tunzelmann, British historian and broadcaster, and UK-based journalist and science commentator Anjana Ahuja.
