Rohingya Refugees Refuse Repatriation

BBC World Service - Weekend, Rohingya Refugees Refuse Repatriation

More than 700,000 Rohingyas have fled Myanmar into neighbouring Bangladesh.

Last week an attempt by the government of Bangladesh to repatriate Rohingya refugees failed after not a single one agreed to return to Myanmar. We ask what's next? Also on the programme did the failure of Hillary Clinton to win the 2016 presidential election actually help get a record number of women elected in the recent midterms? And we hear about the life of Aldyr Schlee, the man who designed the iconic football strip of Brazil's national team.
