Biden told not to attend memorial events by families of 9/11 victims

BBC World Service - Weekend, Biden told not to attend memorial events by families of 9/11 victims

Families want the president to declassify files about the attacks

President Biden has been asked not to attend memorial events for those who died on 11th September 2001, unless he declassifies files about the attacks.
Families of the victims believe the files implicate officials from Saudi Arabia in the plot.
 
Also in the programme: we hear from Australia where more than half of the population are currently in lockdown; and a tribute to Jamaican Dub music.
 
Joining Anna Holligan to discuss these and other issues are Paula Erizanu, a Moldovan-born journalist based in the UK and culture editor of the Calvert Journal, and Henry Chu, deputy news editor for the Los Angeles Times, based in London.
