BBC World Service - Weekend, The Last Night of the Proms with a twist

A new multicultural approach to the BBC's Last Night of the Proms concert.

And a historic day for Afghanistan, as the first formal peace talks between the government and the Taliban get underway in Qatar.

Joining Pascale Harter to discuss these and other issues are Laura Spinney, a novelist, translator and science journalist, and Matthew Green, climate correspondent for the Reuters News Agency based in London.
