BBC World Service - Weekend, IDF used Palestinian man as human shield, says UN rapporteur

Footage shows a man strapped to the front of an IDF vehicle

United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese said footage of the wounded man strapped to the front of an IDF vehicle during a raid was "flabbergasting" and appeared to be a breach of international law.

Also in the programme: The wife of an American citizen who's been kept in detention by the Taliban in Afghanistan for 2 years appeals to the US president for his release; and Washington DC prepares for the arrival of two new pandas.

Today’s guests are Katja Hoyer, a visiting research fellow at King’s College London and a fellow of the Royal Historical Society, and Mark MacKinnon , the Senior International Correspondent for the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail.
