BBC World Service - Weekend, US set to sign peace deal with the Taliban

US set to sign peace deal with the Taliban; how can artists help fight climate change?

Nineteen years after invading Afghanistan to remove the Taliban from power, the United States is set to sign an historic deal with that same group this weekend.

Also in the programme: How can artists help fight climate change?  We hear from the musician, Brian Eno.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Dr. Ulrike Franke, a policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, and Lance Price, a British broadcaster, writer and political commentator.
