Hong Kong braced for more protests

A review of the week with the latest news.

Protest leaders in Hong Kong have called for a big turn-out at a rally later today, despite the government's decision to suspend plans to allow extradition to mainland China. Activists want the extradition bill to be permanently scrapped and are urging Hong Kong's chief executive Carrie Lam to resign.

Also in the programme: One of London's most famous pubs changes ownership; and what effect are deep fake videos going to have on democracy?

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Iona Craig, journalist and long time Yemen watcher, and Brian Klaas, an Assistant Professor in Global Politics at University College London.
