BBC World Service - Weekend, Protests return to the streets of Hong Kong

Pro-democracy protesters return to Hong Kong's streets; Maltese businessman charged

After a pause, pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong take to the streets again.

Also in the programme:  One of Malta's richest businessmen has been charged with complicity in the murder of the investigative journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia.

And confronting the past in Spain.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Shachi Kurl, executive director of the Angus Read institute, a non-partisan polling organisation in Canada; and Seyi Rhodes, a reporter and journalist.
