Remember the Russian leader of the opposition to Putin – he was poisoned when he was in Siberia. He was taken to hospital in Berlin. The doctors said he was poisoned with Novichok – same as the people in Salisbury. Most people believe the poisoning was agreed by Putin. He denies. The doctors managed to save him and he is now out of hospital. But back in Russia they have taken away his flat and also taken over his bank account. They say this is because he complained about the food that children had in school. The company are suing him.

It is not just discrimination but it is because more black people are shot by the police.
Switzerland is to have a vote this weekend. This is to decide if they should reduce the number of foreign workers coming into the country. At the moment Switzerland has free movement with the EU.
