BBC World Service - Weekend, Israeli weapons transfers "unjustifiable", almost 40 Democrats say

The influential US Democrat, Nancy Pelosi, and nearly forty of her colleagues in Congress have signed a letter to the White House saying it "unjustifiable" to approve weapons transfers to Israel. 

Also on the programme, Ukraine lowers the conscription age to 25; and, the US space agency, NASA, has unveiled plans to grow crops on the moon.
