BBC World Service - Weekend, The G7 summit gets underway in France

The G7 summit begins in earnest in Biarritz, France; an Indian family's quest for justice

As the G7 summit gets underway, the French President and British Prime Minister call for a de-escalation in the growing trade war between the United States and China. 

Also in the programme: We have a report on an Indian family's quest for justice after a Muslim dairy farmer was killed in a lynching.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Patricia Cumper, Jamaican-born writer, playwright and theatre director, and Silio Boccanera, correspondent for Brazilian television based in London.
