Thailand-Cambodia fighting continues despite Trump call
The tensions between countries involve the disputed border.
There have been further hostilities along Thailand and Cambodia's disputed border, just hours after President Trump said that the neighbours had agreed to stop fighting. In a social media post, Thailand's prime minister said that his country would continue military action until it feels that there are no more threats to its territory or people. Earlier, Cambodia's defence ministry said that Thai planes had bombed hotel buildings and bridges on Saturday morning.
Also in the programme: President Trump tours the US to spread a message about the economy; and the pop-up cafe in Japan that gives people living with dementia a place to volunteer.
Joining presenter Julian Worricker to discuss these stories and more are Alev Scott, a Turkish-British writer and journalist based in the UK; and Danny Sriskanderajah, chief executive of the progressive, UK-based New Economics Foundation think-tank.
