BBC World Service - Weekend, Morocco reach World Cup semi-finals

Morocco first African nation to reach semi-finals

Morocco have become the first African and Arab nation ever to reach the semi-finals of a football World Cup. They'll play France next Wednesday who have beaten England by two goals to one. In a tournament full of surprises, Morocco managed to make history by beating Portugal one-nil. 

Also in the programme: the tiny Belgian town with a big lottery win; and NATO’s secretary general warns of the threat to Europe. 

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other stories are Shahida Tulaganova, a British-Uzbek journalist and filmmaker based in London, and Marc David Baer, a professor of international history at the London School of Economics.
