BBC World Service - Weekend, Aid agencies call for further access to earthquake victims

Aid agencies call for cross border access to help earthquake victims in northern Syria.

Aid agencies have called for further access as they battle to reach victims of Monday's earthquake in Syria.

Also in the programme: The United States is preparing a defence strategy to counter growing Russian presence in the Arctic.

And we  find out if fiction writers should accept editorial advice from "sensitivity readers."

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Julie Norman, associate professor in Politics and International Relations at University College, London and Vedi Hadiz, Professor of Asian Studies at the University of Melbourne in Australia.
