Greece goes to the polls

BBC World Service - Weekend, Greece goes to the polls

Greeks vote on Sunday; change at the top of the EU; Trump, US citizenship, and census

Greeks go to the polls on Sunday, we'll look at why public affection for the incumbent administration has waned.

Also in the programme: It's all change at the top of the European Commission this week and 2 women got 2 of the biggest jobs.

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

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".
