BBC World Service - Weekend, Pakistan appeals for help

Pakistan is asking for international assistance in dealing with floods

Pakistan is asking for international assistance in dealing with floods.

Pakistan appeals to the international community for aid as the flood crisis worsens.

Also, the EU claims a diplomatic victory in the Balkans as Serbia and Kosovo resolve a dispute over the movement of citizens across their border.  We hear from the US envoy for the region.

And the outgoing UK prime minister, Boris Johnson, keeping comedians busy at the world's largest arts festival in Edinburgh.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Rachel Kyte, dean of The Fletcher School at Tufts University in the US and the first woman to hold the position and also a former UN special representative on sustainability; and Misha Glenny, journalist and writer, and rector of the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna and author.
