Newsday

Available for over a year

Germany says Alexei Navalny was undeniably poisoned using a Novichok nerve agent. So is the Kremlin responsible? We hear from Hong Kong where a court is set to deliver a verdict in media tycoon Jimmy Lai's criminal intimidation case. And we speak to the daughter of a US citizen put on trail for blasphemy and then shot dead in a Pakistani court.
