BBC World Service - Weekend, President Putin: A wanted man

International Criminal Court issues arrest warrant for alleged war crimes

The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin for alleged war crimes. We hear from the court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan. 

Also in the programme: On the 20th anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq, which triggered a long insurgency and much bloodshed, we discuss the war and its aftermath.

Joining Audrey Brown to discuss all this and more are Bel Trew, the international correspondent for the UK's Independent newspaper, and Carne Ross, writer and former diplomat.
