BBC World Service - Weekend, Pittsburgh District Councillor on Shootings

Councillor Corey O'Connor on Pittsburgh response to shootings; election run-off in Brazil

As flags fly at half-mast at the White House in memory of eleven people shot dead in a synagogue in Pittsburgh, we'll hear from a councillor who represents the district where the shootings happened; also, the run-off in the presidential election in Brazil; and the growing sophistication of sex robots.  Paul Henley discusses these and more with Chitra Nagarajan, a Nigerian writer and activist, and Matthew Green, British writer and journalist.
