The intricacies of Scrabble

BBC World Service - Weekend, The intricacies of Scrabble

We explore the intricacies of Scrabble; local elections in Hong Kong

We explore the intricacies of the classic word game, Scrabble.

Also in the programme:  Voters in Hong Kong are casting their ballots in a district council election seen as a test of support for the territory's beleaguered chief executive, Carrie Lam.

And we hear from Palestinians in Gaza a month on from intensified hostilities with Israel.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Maya Goodfellow, a British writer and researcher specialising in race and immigration; and Oliver Bullough, a British writer, journalist and former correspondent in Russia.
