US Supreme Court gives approval for wall money

BBC World Service - Weekend, US Supreme Court gives approval for wall money

US Supreme Court gives OK for money to build wall; fresh protests in Hong Kong underway

US Supreme Court gives the OK for money to build wall; fresh protests in Hong Kong underway

The US Supreme Court gives a tentative green-light to billion of dollars of tax-payer money being spent on construction of President Trump's long-promised wall along the Mexico border.

Also in the programme: a fresh weekend of protests get underway.

And 66 years on from the signing of the armistice that brought fighting to an end in the Korean War - we meet some of the surviving Britons who thought alongside the South.

Joining Celia Hatton in Hong Kong and Julian Worricker in London are Lijia Zhang, Chinese author and journalist, and Sebastian Borger, German journalist and London correspondent for the Berlin Tagespiegel and the Austrian Der Standard newspapers amongst other publications.
