A drone attack on a major Saudi oil plant halts production

BBC World Service - Weekend, A drone attack on a major Saudi oil plant halts production

After an attack on a major Saudi oil pant, half of the country's oil production is halted

After a drone attack on a major oil facility in Saudi Arabia, half of the country's oil production will be temporarily halted. We'll ask what that will mean for oil consumers around the world.

Also in the programme:  Tunisians are voting for a presidential election, following the death of their President in July.

And we'll be getting an early look at a new film about the twentieth century Hollywood icon, Judy Garland.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues is Rita Sakr, a  Lebanese-born Lecturer in Postcolonial and Global Literatures at Maynooth University in Ireland.
