BBC World Service - Weekend, Wilfred Owen: Centenary Of Poet's Death Marked In France

The centenary of the death of First World War poet Wilfred Owen will be marked in France

The centenary of the death of First World War poet Wilfred Owen will be marked in France.

The centenary of the death of the British poet of the First World War, Wilfred Owen, will be marked today in northern France. A bugle that he took from a dead German soldier on the battlefield will be sounded in public for the first time at the ceremony in Ors; also, the convoy of Central American migrants making its way across Mexico towards the United States has stopped in the small Mexican town of Juchitan; and, the people behind the creation of fake news.
