BBC World Service - Weekend, More protests in Belarus planned

Another day of protests in Belarus; fires in California

Belarus braces for another day of protest; and the women who prevented a police van from taking demonstrators away.

As fires in California continue to burn, a scientist tells us climate change is making such incidents more likely.

And we ask if the US film industry is coming under increasingly malign outside influence?

Joining Pascale Harter to discuss these and other issues are Alex von Tunzelmann, historian, screenwriter, and author, and Tim Marshall, a writer, broadcaster and journalist.
