BBC World Service - Weekend, US Republicans aim to replace Ginsburg

Trump to name Ginsburg replacement; the Syrian refugee's life in Europe, five years on

Following the death of US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Donald Trump says he'll reveal his choice to replace her soon, and he'll name a woman. What impact will this have on the presidential race?

Also, the Syrian refugee who crossed Europe in a wheelchair. What is her life like five years on?

And a deal to give two US companies a big stake in the US arm of TikTok receives backing from the White House.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Stacy Hilliard-Cork, a US-born international development specialist who runs a consultancy firm called Taysha, and Miguel-Anxo Murado, a Spanish journalist and author.
