BBC World Service - Weekend, A star performance fit for a Queen

A line up of stars perform in London to celebrate the Queen's platinum jubilee

A line up of stars perform in London to celebrate the Queen's platinum jubilee.

Central London was star-studded for a few hours last night.  Some of the biggest names in British popular music - not to mention a good few from abroad - performed in front of an estimated 22,000 people to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee.

Multiple explosions have been reported in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, as fighting continues across the east, with towns and cities emptying of life.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Nadifa Mohamed, a Somali-British novelist; and Yannis Palaiologos, a Greek journalist and European Union correspondent for Kathimerini, a daily newspaper in Athens.
