BBC World Service - Weekend, Mass Shooting at Pittsburgh Synagogue

11 murdered at Pittsburgh synagogue; controversy in Nigeria over population size

We hear from the councillor whose district in the US city of Pittsburgh was the scene of a mass shooting at a synagogue; the controversy in Nigeria over a minister's call for people to have fewer children; and New Zealand experiments with a flexible work policy and the four day week -- will it work?  Paul Henley discusses these and other topics with Chitra Nagarajan, a Nigerian writer and human rights activist, and by Matthew Green, a British writer and journalist for Reuters.
