BBC World Service - Weekend, Anti-G20 demonstrations rage through the night in Hamburg

Anti-G20 demonstrations rage in Hamburg as summit continues

Nearly 200 police have been injured in clashes with demonstrators in Hamburg where the G20 summit is being held. Behind the security ring, negotiators are trying to draw up a final statement that supports the Paris climate agreement -- despite President Trump's rejection of the accord.

Also in the programme: South Africa's blockbusting musical; The parallels between Saddam Hussein and IS.
