BBC World Service - Weekend, Suspected Islamist rebels kill Ugandan students

At least 25 students killed in rebel attack on secondary school in the west of Uganda

At least 25 students killed in rebel attack on secondary school in the west of Uganda.

At least 25 students have been killed in western Uganda in a night-time attack by suspected Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels, linked to the Islamic State group. Police say that eight other students have been injured, and it's feared that dozens more have been abducted in the attack, close to the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Also in the programme: a year after the US Supreme court overturned the federal right to an abortion, we hear about its impact in Texas; and re-imagining wildfires.

Our panellists are Manmit Bhambra, inclusion and access lead at the Old Vic theatre in London, and Remi Adekoya, politics lecturer at the UK's University of York.
