Hajj Pilgrims Crushed to Death
People from Saudi Arabia on the Hajj pilgrimage where more than 700 people have died.
We hear from people in Saudi Arabia where more than 700 people have died in a crush in Mina at the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Around 800 other people were injured. Also, we discuss if people have lost trust in the car maker Volkswagen after it was caught manipulating US diesel car emissions tests. Plus, is tackling climate change a 'sacred obligation'?
