Blasts target churches in Sri Lanka

Bomb blasts at churches in Sri Lanka during Easter services; protests in Sudan continue

There have been several bomb blasts at churches in Sri Lanka during Easter services, with reports of a number of hotels also being targeted.

Also in the programme: we go to Sudan where protests continue demanding a peaceful transfer of power.

Plus, as Libya descends further into chaos, we look at the man at the centre of it all - General Khalifa Haftar.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Emma Beals, journalist, writer, and researcher focused on Syria and Mark Stephens, an international lawyer, former head of Commonwealth Lawyers Association.
