BBC World Service - Weekend, Death Toll in California Wildfire Rises

25 die in California fire; leaders in Paris for Armistice Day; Polish independence march

The death toll of California's most destructive wildfire on record rises to 25, and more than a quarter of a million people have had to leave their homes across the state; world leaders gather in Paris to commemorate the end of the Great war - on the eleventh day of the eleventh month; and the Polish independence march that is dividing the country.  Celia Hatton discusses these and other issues with Georgina Godwin, Zimbabwean-born broadcaster and journalist based in London, and Peter Oborne, British writer, journalist and political commentator.
