Trump panned over war dead comment

BBC World Service - Weekend, Trump panned over war dead comment

Trump reported to have insulted vets; Coronavirus on the rise; reflections on Lampedusa

How politically damaging are allegations that President Trump insulted veterans of the US military?

Coronavirus infections on the increase in India as figures jump from three to four million in two weeks.

The Italian island of Lampedusa and the story of the migrants hoping for a better life in Europe.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are the journalist, Isabel Hilton, CEO of China Dialogue which describes itself as an independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting a common understanding of China’s environmental challenges; and Chris Smith, a consultant medical virologist and a lecturer at the University of Cambridge. He is also the host of the radio show – The Naked Scientist.
