BBC World Service - Weekend, Abortion rights in the US

Abortion rights to be limited in the US; Australia votes; Eurovision Song Contest

Abortion rights are to be severely limited in another US state - this time, Missouri.

Also in the programme: Australia goes to the polls.

And the annual musical preview of the Eurovision Song Contest - the world's biggest non-sporting television extravaganza.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Rachel Shabi, British journalist, author, and broadcaster, and Knox Chitiyo, Africa Fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House.
