Trump accuses Facebook of censorship

BBC World Service - Weekend, Trump accuses Facebook of censorship

Former US President suspended from Facebook for at least two years

Former US President suspended from Facebook for at least two years.

Donald Trump has accused Facebook of censorship, after it said his suspension from the service would last for at least two years. We hear from a sympathiser.

Also on the programme: as Mexico goes to the polls this weekend we hear from those braving the violence to stand for office; and why the electric car represents the biggest revolution in the motor industry since the days of Henry Ford.

Joining Paul Henley on the programme are Julia Buxton, a professor of criminology specialising in international drug policy at the University of Manchester and Sune Engel Rasmussen, a London-based correspondent for the Wall Street Journal newspaper.
