UN calls on Libyan warlord to halt Tripoli advance

BBC World Service - Weekend, UN calls on Libyan warlord to halt Tripoli advance

The UN calls on Haftar to stop his advance on the Libyan capital; Trump's World Bank pick

The UN calls on the Libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar to halt his advance on Tripoli - as its emergency diplomatic mission ends in failure.

Also in the programme, President Trump's pick - David Malpass - gets World Bank top job.

And why a British scheme requiring porn users to prove their age has been delayed.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Yu Jie, China research fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and Alex Andreou, Greek-born actor, writer and theatre director.
