BBC World Service - Weekend, US to Withdraw from Cold War Nuclear Treaty

Trump to pull US out of Nuclear Treaty; US Senator on Saudi journalist's killing

President Trump says he is pulling the US out of a key Cold War disarmament accord, accusing Russia of violating the agreement; the chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee tells us he suspects that the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, had a significant role in planning the killing of a dissident Saudi journalist; and the millions of Venezuelans forced to flee a country once rich in oil, now experiencing food shortages.  Julian Worricker discusses these stories with guests Rosamund Urwin of The Sunday Times, and Danny Sriskandarajah, Secretary General of CIVICUS.
