BBC World Service - Weekend, Armenia and Azerbaijan agree ceasefire

Ceasefire between Armenia and Azerbaijan; President Trump says he's 'medication free'

Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed to a humanitarian ceasefire, after two weeks of fighting.

Also, President Trump says he is now 'medication free', as he seeks to recover from Covid-19 and get his election campaign back on track.

And how Gaza’s relative isolation has enabled it to escape the worst medical effects of coronavirus, but its extreme levels of poverty have increased. 

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute of International Affairs in Rome, and a Special Advisor to EU High Representative and Vice President of the Commission, Josep Borrell; and Henry Chu, deputy news editor for the Los Angeles Times, based in London.
