BBC World Service - Weekend, Deadly Kabul rocket attack

A number of people have been killed and casualty figures are still rising

A number of people have been killed and casualty figures are still rising.

There has been a deadly rocket attack on the Afghan capital Kabul ahead of scheduled talks between the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the Taliban in Qatar. We get the latest from our correspondent in the region.

Also on the programme: We are in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, as the G20 summit of the world's leading economies opens for an online meeting. And we hear about incoming US first lady Jill Biden.

Discussing these issues are Laurie Goering, a US-born journalist and head of the climate programme at the Thomson Reuters Foundation in London and Oliver Bullough, a British writer, journalist and former correspondent in Russia.
