Demolition of Miami tower block likely soon.

The demolition of the standing portion of the apartment block that collapsed near Miami has been brought forward due to an approaching tropical storm.

Also, should an international body investigate the human rights violations against the Indigenous people in Canada?

Plus, as Turkey withdraws from the Istanbul Convention, an international treaty which helps protect women from domestic violence, we’ll speak to a former Turkish lawmaker from the ruling AKP party who was actively involved in its writing.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Colleen Graffy, former United States Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and law professor at Pepperdine University's Caruso Law School in the US; and Nigar Goksel, Turkey project director for the International Crisis Group - an independent conflict prevention organisation.
