BBC World Service - Weekend, World leaders gather in Switzerland for Ukraine summit

More than 90 nations will attend, but key players like China will be absent

More than 90 nations will attend, but key players like China will be absent.

Also today: a judge has ordered the liquidation of Infowars host Alex Jones' personal assets, clearing the way for potential pay-outs to families of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting in the United States; and we try the noodles Denmark has taken off the shelves for being too spicy.
