Biden imposes sanctions on Saudis

New measures announced after revelations into killing of Jamal Khashoggi.

Joe Biden says the US will hold Saudi Arabia accountable for human rights abuses, following revelations on the role of its Crown Prince in the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi. We get reaction from the Saudis and ask what it means for Washington's relationship with a key ally.

Also, as leaders of the world's wealthiest nations prepare to descend on a southern English town for this year's G7 summit - what issues will be top of their agenda?

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Julie Norman, a Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at University College London, and John Nilsson-Wright, a specialist on the Korean peninsula, Japan and East Asia at Cambridge University and the Royal Institute of International Affairs.
