BBC World Service - The World This Week, Nuclear Weapons Treaty Collapses

US rethinks strategy on mid-range nuclear missiles, Khashoggi murder overshadows a big Saudi business conference, Yemen's famine warning, and can carbon capture save the planet?

This was the week when the US said Russian violations and the strategic threat from China were behind its decision to pull out of a key nuclear missile treaty, Saudi Arabia held a major investment conference despite tensions over the killing of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the UN said a devastating famine was a real threat in Yemen, and scientists urged countries to step up efforts to capture carbon to combat climate change.
