BBC World Service - Weekend, North Korea shows off missiles

Kim Jung-un shows off missiles at military parade; race, gender, and politics in America

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un shows off intercontinental ballistic missiles at a military parade in the capital Pyongyang, marking the seventy-fifth anniversary of the country's ruling party.

Also, we take a look at critical race theory in America, as Donald Trump makes a pitch for African American and Latino voters.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Nitasha Kaul, a Kashmiri-British novelist and academic based in London and Michael Keating, Executive Director of European Institute of Peace in Brussels, and a former UN Envoy to Somalia.
