Australia goes to the polls; Sri Lanka, ten years after the civil war
Australians are going to the polls in an election where climate change has forced itself onto the agenda.
Also in the programme, ten years on from the end of the civil war in Sri Lanka - questions about a massacre of Tamil Tiger rebels remain unanswered.
And abortion rights are to be severely limited in another US state.
Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Rachel Shabi, British journalist, author and broadcaster, and Knox Chitiyo, Africa Fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House.
