Russian warship fires warning shots near UK yacht in Channel

from BBC · host BBC

Russia says one of its naval frigates fired warning shots near a yacht in the Channel, because the UK-registered vessel was on a "dangerous course". We hear from the retired couple on board who have spoken to the BBC's Newsnight programme. Also on the programme - the world's leading economies meet at the G7 in France with the US-Iran war top of the agenda. And we hear about the enduring appeal of The Smiths 'The Queen Is Dead' 40 years after it became an instant indie classic.
