What next in West's row with Belarus over diverted flight?

Newsday

Available for over a year

Moscow is a key ally to Belarus, and both leaders are meeting today. We report on the political situation in Belarus, a few days after they diverted a European flight and detained a Belarusian dissident and his girlfriend. We look at the issue of Covid-19 vaccination for children, while many countries are waiting for first doses for adults. And a scientist tells us of the sighting of the Giant Tortoise, believed to be extinct on the Galapagos islands. It was last seen back in 1906.
