President Trump oversees peace deal between Cambodia and Thailand

Donald Trump starts his one-week visit of South East Asian nations in Kuala Lumpur, beginning with attending a peace deal between Cambodia and Thailand.

Also in the programme: Scientists in the UK have made a major breakthrough in the field of genetic engineering by creating pigs that are resistant to a fatal disease. We speak with one of the researchers on the study. And we look at why protests have emerged recently in countries such as Nepal, Madagascar and Indonesia, among others. We talk to some members of Generation Z to find out why this is happening now.

Presenter Krupa Padhy is joined by Helen Scales, a marine biologist and author based in the United Kingdom, and by Bence Nemeth, a senior lecturer in defence studies at King’s College, London.
