It follows a number of airlines avoiding Belarusian airspace in protest at the forced landing. We look at what could happen next. In Hong Kong the media tycoon Jimmy Lai is expected to appear in court a day after the authorities threatened to jail bankers who handle his accounts. We have the latest.
