BBC World Service - Weekend, Gunmen attack Sikh temple in Kabul

Fears for the safety of worshippers after multiple blasts in Afghan capital

Fears for the safety of worshippers after multiple blasts in Afghan capital.

There are fears for the safety of dozens of worshippers in the Afghan capital of Kabul after gunmen attacked a Sikh temple in the early hours of Saturday morning. We hear from our correspondent who's been at the scene.

Also, voters in Colombia go to the polls to choose either a former leftist rebel or a man dubbed the country's Donald Trump as their new president.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Jill Rutter, a former senior civil servant, now a Brexit specialist at the UK in a Changing Europe and Institute for Government thinktanks; and Dr Bates Gill, American-born professor of Asia-Pacific Security Studies at MacQuarie University in Sydney and Senior Associate Fellow with the Royal United Services Institute in London.
