BBC World Service - Weekend, Tsunami Hits Indonesia

Tsunami hits Indonesian Islands of Java and Sumatra; another high-level US resignation

A tsunami in Indonesia has hit the islands of Java and Sumatra, killing and injuring many.

Another high level resignation over President Trump's foreign policy - what will this mean for Syria?

And we have a special report from Kashmir, where fighting has intensified between Indian forces and armed insurgents.

To discuss these and other issues, Paul Henley is joined by Ruth Dudley Edwards, British-Irish crime novelist, journalist and historian, and William Gumede, executive chairperson of the Democracy Works Foundation in Johannesburg.
