Journalists' dissident club for refugees in Paris; Trump announces Supreme Court pick

We hear about the Pakistani journalists who have created a hub for dissidents and refugees in a small bar in Paris.

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.
