BBC World Service - Weekend, Trump Supreme Court nomination

Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett to Supreme Court; armed forces arrested in Mexico

President Trump has collected another ally in the US Supreme Court - nominating conservative judge, Amy Coney Barrett.

Six years after a massacre that convulsed Mexico, the country's  president issues arrest warrants for members of the armed forces - and says sorry.

And the lessons Italy seems to have learned from being hardest-hit by the Coronavirus when it first came to Europe.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Karl Sharro, a British-Lebanese architect and satirist, and Leslie Vinjamuri, the Director of the US and Americas programme at the international affairs think tank, Chatham House.
