Trump to insist on citizenship in census

BBC World Service - Weekend, Trump to insist on citizenship in census

President Trump prepared to force a citizenship on census question; Venezuela judge freed

President Trump says he's prepared to use an executive order to include a controversial question on citizenship in next year's census.

Also in the programme:  A prominent judge in Venezuela has been released after several years in prison- but her family say her freedom is still heavily restricted.

And a new exhibition on France's forgotten war monuments.

Joining Rebecca Kesby to discuss these and other issues are Chandrika Kaul, a reader in Modern History at the University of St Andrew's in Scotland, and Carne Ross, a former British diplomat who now runs a diplomatic advisory group called "Independent Diplomat".
