Virtual G20 Summit Opens

The G20 summit of the world’s biggest economies kicks off today, in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. For the first time, it's being hosted by an Arab state. But because of the current global pandemic, the leaders will only meet online. We hear from David Rundell, a former American diplomat in Saudi Arabia and author of a new book on the kingdom, Vision or Mirage: Saudi Arabia At The Crossroads.

Also, can the president elect of Moldova, one of the poorest nations in Europe, take her country into the EU?

To discuss these issues and more we have on the programme Laurie Goering, a US-born journalist and head of the climate programme at the Thomson Reuters Foundation in London and Oliver Bullough, a British writer, journalist and former correspondent in Russia.
