Communal tensions in Sri Lanka

Can the government ease tensions in Sri Lanka after terror attacks? California shooting

Can the Sri Lankan government calm communal tensions in the country following last week's terror attacks? Also in the programme: a gunman has opened fire at a synagogue in California, leaving one woman dead. And why some teachers in the UK want to help busy parents by reading bedtime stories to their children.

Joining Rebecca Kesby to discuss these and other issues are Holly Dagres, an Iranian-American writer and analyst on Middle Eastern affairs, and Philippe Sands, an Anglo-French barrister, author and professor of law at University College, London.
