Covid missteps in the UK, Will Putin be president for life? And, genocide denialism in Srebrenica - a podcast by ABC Radio

UK update with Isabelle Oakeshott

Boris Johnson was elected in a landslide to get Brexit finalised. But his mishandling of the Coronavirus crisis has his approval ratings in free fall. Meanwhile, Britain’s exit from Europe has fallen off the front pages and Labour’s new leader is gaining ground.

Also, will Putin be president for life?

Vladimir Putin recently secured constitutional changes that may allow him to rule for another sixteen years. Most Western analysts see the move as a power grab to offset his falling approval ratings.   

Mary Dejevsky argues that Putin simply seeks to assure a smooth transition when he leaves office.

Also, Genocide denialism

A quarter century ago, Bosnian Serbs massacred more than eight thousand Muslims. Survivors say history is being denied and war crimes celebrated.
