The EU is considering sanctions after Belarus detained Roman Protasevich. We speak to Hanna Liubakova, a friend of Protasevich, whose Ryanair plane was diverted to Minsk airport when flying over Belarus so he could be detained. And we consider the potential actions the EU could take in response to the move with Sergei Guriev, who is a Russian economist and professor of economics at the Instituts d'Etudes Politiques in Paris.
Plus, we speak to Adi Robertson, reporter at The Verge in New York, sums up after the final day of the court case between Apple and Fortnite creator Epic Games over the price of apps on the Apple platform.
And Peter Jankovskis tells us what's been happening on Wall Street today.
