Thousands flee Nagorno-Karabakh into Armenia
The United Nations says it's sending a mission this weekend to assess the situation.
Ninety thousand ethnic Armenians have fled the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh since it was re-taken by Azerbaijan last week after a lightning military campaign. The United Nations says it's sending a mission to the territory this weekend to assess the humanitarian situation, after Azerbaijan said it would allow such a visit to take place.
Also in the programme: two deadly suicide bombs have killed dozens of people and injured many more attending Friday prayers in Pakistan; and a man has been arrested over the killing of the US rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996.
Joining Krupa Padhy to discuss this and more is Emma Graham-Harrison, senior international affairs correspondent at the UK’s Guardian newspaper, and Elizia Volkmann, freelance journalist, based in Tunisia.
