BBC World Service - Weekend, Sanctions against Saudi nationals

US imposes measures after revelations into Jamal Khashoggi killing.

The White House has imposed sanctions on Saudi Arabia, following revelations on the role of its Crown Prince in the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi. We get reaction from the expert who led a UN investigation into Mr Khashoggi's death. 

Also, why Greece wants the European Union to adopt vaccine passports.

And the Chinese court ruling that puts a price on domestic housework.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Julie Norman, a Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at University College London, and John Nilsson-Wright, a specialist on the Korean peninsula, Japan and East Asia at Cambridge University and the Royal Institute of International Affairs.
