BBC World Service - Weekend, US Government Shutdown

Parts of US government have shut down; story of 13 Thai boys; young Israelis on Gazans

Parts of the US government have shut down; the story of the 13 Thai boys; young Israelis on Gazans

Parts of the US government have shut down because of disagreement over the wall President Trump wants to build on the southern border

The story of the 13 Thai boys trapped in a cave in the summer, that changed a community.

Plus young Israelis talk about the Gazans that live just a few miles away.

To discuss these and other issues, Paul Henley is joined by Kevin Maguire, associate editor of the Daily Mirror newspaper, and Alev Scott, journalist and author specialising in Turkey.
