US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies

BBC World Service - Weekend, US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies

We reflect on the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg; Belarusian women confront security forces

We assess Justice Ginsburg's legacy and look at the politics of her succession already under way.

The Belarusian women who pull the masks off the faces of unidentified security forces who detain protesters.

And the impact of Siberia's thawing permafrost on climate change.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Michela Wrong, a journalist and author specialising in Africa, and Eric Albert, a London-based correspondent for French newspaper, Le Monde.
