Japan Row With South Korea Over Sex Slaves
Japan and South Korea row over Tokyo's treatment of sex slaves during WWII
As Japan takes diplomatic action in protest at a statue showing a war time sex slave in South Korea, why didn't an agreement signed a year ago allow the two countries to move on?
Also on the programme, US top spies try to convince Trump that the US election was hacked by Russia; remembering Indian actor Om Puri.
