BBC World Service - Weekend, UK MPs urge Assange extradition to Sweden

Members of the UK parliament urge the extradition of Assange to Sweden; Sudan crisis

More than 70 members of the British parliament have signed a letter urging the interior minister to ensure the Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, faces the authorities in Sweden if they want his extradition.

Also in the programme: Is the new general in Sudan enough to satisfy the demands of the protesters?

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Marcela Mora y Araujo, an Argentinian-born writer and journalist based in London and by Remi Adekoya, a Polish-Nigerian journalist and political scientist now based in the UK.
