Iraqi hospital fire

A fire at a hospital treating coronavirus patients in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, has killed more than twenty people and injured dozens. We hear the latest on the story.

The Turkish foreign ministry has summoned the American ambassador to protest against President Biden's decision to recognise the massacre of Armenians a century ago as genocide. What effect will President Biden's move have on US-Turkish relations?; and after India saw record numbers of new Covid infections again today, we hear from a doctor in one of the capital's hospitals.

Joining Celia Hatton on Weekend is Torrey Taussig, a research director in the Project on Europe and the Transatlantic Relationship at the Harvard Kennedy School, and Michael Peel, the European diplomatic correspondent based in Brussels for the Financial Times newspaper.
