BBC World Service - Weekend, Final day of the 2020 Paralympics

The last day of the Paralympics in Tokyo.

Athletes from over 160 countries have been competing in Tokyo for the past twelve days.

Also, Ethiopia's former ambassador to Washington tells the BBC that genocide is taking place in its northern province of Tigray.

Plus, a story of public rehabilitation and personal redemption in a dramatisation of the Monica Lewinsky - Bill Clinton White House sex scandal.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Eric Albert, London correspondent for the French Le Monde newspaper, and Diana Menham, Lebanese economist, public policy expert, and managing director of an organisation campaigning for political reform in Lebanon.
