BBC World Service - Weekend, Hockey and Détente, Korean Style

Joint North and South Korea Olympic ice hockey team is to play a match for the first time

A joint North and South Korea Olympic ice hockey team is to play a match for the first time later today, but is sport being overshadowed by the diplomatic and political reasons behind the unification?

Also in the programme: A Formula 1 ‘Grid Girl’ on whether her job is sexist; and the reasons behind the UN agency for Palestinian refugees’ decision to appeal for hundreds of millions of dollars.
