BBC World Service - Newshour, Saudis Accused of Blocking Lebanese Former PM's Return Home

Saudi Arabia accused of preventing Lebanon's former Prime Minister from returning home

Saudi Arabia accused of preventing Saad Hariri - the man who last week resigned as Lebanese Prime Minister - from returning home.

As the Lebanese President calls for the return of the Prime Minister who unexpectedly resigned while in Saudi Arabia, we examine what's behind the political turmoil.
Also on the programme: President Trump makes the case for a less globalised world at the APEC Summit in Vietnam; and why is the pay gap widening for young British women?
