Russian Nationals Charged With Interfering In The US Election.

BBC World Service - Weekend, Russian Nationals Charged With Interfering In The US Election.

Trump Putin summit to go ahead despite indictments from Mueller investigation.

The White House has said that the indictments of twelve Russian intelligence officers for US election interference will not jeopardise Monday's summit between Presidents Trump and Putin in Helsinki. But does this action mean that the Mueller investigation is getting closer to members of the Trump administration itself? Also on the programme, more than a hundred and twenty people at an election rally in Pakistan have been killed by a suicide bomber. This event overshadowed the arrest of Nawaz Sharif, the former Prime Minister, who returned to that country having been sentenced in his absence by an anti corruption court. Our correspondent was with him as he flew back. And we hear from one of the divers responsible for rescuing the boys trapped in the cave in Thailand.
