BBC World Service - Weekend, People start to gather for vigil honouring victims of Sydney shopping centre stabbing

Australian police believe the Bondi Junction mall attacker specifically targeted women

Many Australians, especially women, are feeling unsettled and unsafe a week on from the stabbing that took place in the Westfield Bondi Junction mall. Five of the six people who were killed in the attack were women and several others, including a baby girl, were left injured. Today, thousands of people are expected to attend a vigil in Sydney to remember the victims.

Also in the programme: Pakistan is facing the physical effects of rising temperatures and noticeably bad air quality and a look at the documentary film 'Tomorrow's Freedom' about Marwan Barghouti, a prominent Palestinian prisoner held by Israel.

Joining presenter Julian Worricker are Hannah Ajala Rahman, a journalist, speaker and award-winning podcast host and Dr Manu Lekunze, a lecturer in international relations at the University of Aberdeen who studies the security of states.
