BBC World Service - Weekend, US Supreme Court replacement picked

Trump reportedly picked Justice Ginsburg's successor; wolf hunting vote in Switzerland

President Trump is reported to have picked his replacement for the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Also, Swiss voters are being called on to decide whether to allow wolf hunting.

And  we hear from a colleague of the two people attacked in front of the Charlie Hebdo building in Paris on Friday.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Lisa Millar, a journalist and broadcaster for the ABC network in Australia.  She co-presents the 'News Breakfast' programme on ABC television, and  Afzal Ashraf, an expert on defence, security, and international relations at the University of Nottingham here in the UK.
