OS conversations: Foreign journalists in Russia
麻豆社 OS gives a vibrant account of the day鈥檚 events with explanation and reaction from those involved.
In the week that Russia announced it was expelling three EU diplomats for taking part in protests backing opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, we bring together foreign correspondents in Moscow. They talk to each other about the realities and challenges of working as an international journalist in Russia.
And Alexei Navalny is now back in court facing defamation charges. He is accused of slandering a World War II veteran who appeared in a pro-Putin video. His lawyer says that the aim of his criminal persecution is to prevent him from standing in parliamentary and presidential elections. Our correspondent brings us the latest developments from Moscow.
Also we speak to a reporter in Romania where the Orthodox Church is facing pressure to change baptism rituals, after a baby died following a ceremony which involves immersing infants three times in holy water.
