The Russian journalist who protested on live TV

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The Russian journalist who memorably interrupted a live news broadcast, making a one-woman protest against the war in Ukraine, has just received an 8.5-year prison sentence in absentia. In a rare interview, she tells us about the decision that changed her life forever. Also on the programme: US President Joe Biden has called for the release of a jailed women's rights activist in Iran who was today awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. We have a response from Tehran to Nages Mohammadi being declared a laureate. And - five years after being axed from our TV screens - Big Brother is back. But can the show's reboot revive its success?
