BBC World Service - Weekend, Should China's wild meat markets reopen?

Authorities under pressure in China to reopen wild meat markets; Trump nominee announced

The Chinese authorities are under pressure to re-open the country's wild meat trade, from breeders struggling to survive.

Also, President Trump has nominated his replacement for the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg - conservative judge Amy Coney Barrett.

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.
