Scuffles in Moscow – Former world chess champion and Russian opposition figure Garry Kasparov has been jailed for five days. He and other opposition figures were detained during a rally organised by Mr Kasparov's Other Russia coalition. About 3,000 protesters attended Saturday's rally, carrying banners and calling for the country to be rid of President Putin.
