BBC World Service - Weekend, EU concerned by new Poland law

A lively political debate takes place following the law approved in Poland last week.

The European Union has threatened to take action against Poland, after MPs approved a new commission which could bar people from public office for links to Russia. 

Also in the programme: more from Indian journalist Sandeep Mishra on the community that has been affected in Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha. And we hear from a protester who’s been protesting against planned judicial reforms in Jerusalem for five months.

Julian Worricker is joined by guests Timothy Garton Ash, British historian, author and commentator at Oxford University; and Noga Tarnopoloski, a freelance reporter on Israel and the Palestinian territories, who joins us live from Jerusalem.
