BBC World Service - Weekend, A plea for human rights in Egypt

Egyptian human rights activist pleads for world support

Egyptian human rights activist pleads for world support.

An Egyptian human rights activist pleads for support from world leaders attending the COP27 climate summit.

Also, Twitter's new owner, Elon Musk, justifies the sacking of thousands of staff but he insists that editorial content moderation will not be affected.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Leslie Vinjamuri, Director of the US and the Americas programme at the Chatham House international affairs think tank here in London and also a lecturer in international relations at London University's School of Oriental and African Studies; and Maher Mezahi, a Canadian-Algerian journalist who's usually based in Algiers and who specialises in covering football.
