BBC World Service - Weekend, Japan braced for exceptional typhoon

Typhoon Nanmadol is expected to make landfall on Kyushu island

Typhoon Nanmadol is expected to make landfall on Kyushu island.

Nearly two million people have been urged to evacuate their homes in Japan amid warnings of "unprecedented" risks from an approaching storm.

Also, civil unrest and widespread anti-government violence in Haiti, as demonstrators call for the resignation of the prime minister.

Plus, heads of state and dignitaries arrive in London ahead of the State Funeral for Queen Elizabeth II on Monday.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Patricia Cumper, Jamaican-born writer, playwright and theatre director based in London; and Sergey Radchenko, an expert on the history of the Cold War and Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in the United States.
