BBC World Service - Weekend, Planned protests in Hong Kong

Protesters in Hong Kong plan to defy march ban; US Supreme Court gives OK on wall money

Protestors in Hong Kong are planning to defy a ban and march to the railway station where pro-democracy activists were attacked last week.   We'll hear from a Hong Kong legislator who was at the protest last week and witnessed the violence.

Also in the programme: The US Supreme Court rules that the Trump administration can divert military funds to pay for the construction of a border wall.

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.
