He has been in detention since returning to Russia last month. He was treated in Germany for a near-fatal nerve agent attack on him in August.

Thousands have rallied across Russia and there have been violent scenes in Moscow – video footage on social media show police beating and arresting protesters who came out to support Mr Navalny.

How should foreign powers respond to Russia?

Newsnight’s International Editor, Gabriel Gatehouse, and Diplomatic Editor, Mark Urban, report. Emily Maitlis is joined by Democratic Senator Bob Menendez, Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
