About this episode
As world leaders gather in New York for the UN General Assembly, repeated Russian violations of Nato airspace have prompted warnings from some Nato countries that Russia should expect jets to be shot down if they continue.
Secretary general Mark Rutte has insisted allied nations are ready to defend "every inch" of Nato's borders. Victoria and Vitaly discuss how serious they are, and, they’re joined by the Czech Foreign Minister, Jan Lipavský, who gives his perspective on Nato's response to the incursions.
And, we react to the return of the Intervision international music contest in Moscow. Today’s episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko.
