Thailand and Cambodia agree ceasefire after weeks of deadly clashes

Weekend

Available for 4 days

Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an immediate ceasefire, intended to end weeks of deadly border clashes. The truce stipulates that both sides must maintain current troop deployments with no further movement. Millions of civilians displaced from border areas will be able to return home. Also in the programme: We'll hear about the German-born professional boxer who's won the right to fight wearing a hijab; and transforming nature of voluntary kidney donation - for both the receiver and the giver. Joining Julian Worricker to discuss this and more are Celia Szusterman, a Latin America specialist, and Michael Carlson, a British-American writer and broadcaster based in the UK.
