California synagogue shooting

BBC World Service - Weekend, California synagogue shooting

One dead in synagogue attack; communities coping with security threats in Sri Lanka

One dead, three injured after a gunman attacks a synagogue in California.  President Trump says it's clearly a hate crime.

Also in the programme: after the attacks in Sri Lanka last Sunday, how are the different communities there coping with the security threats?

And the civilians risking their lives to cross the front line of the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

Joining Rebecca Kesby to discuss these and other issues are Holly Dagres, an Iranian-American writer and analyst on Middle Eastern affairs, and Philippe Sands, an Anglo-French barrister, author and professor of law at University College, London.
