Listen "Hungary to avoid US sanctions for importing Russian oil"
Episode Synopsis
US president Donald Trump has announced that Hungary will not have to face sanctions for importing Russian oil, following a White House meeting with Hungary's right-wing prime minister Viktor Orban.
It comes after the US effectively blacklisted two of Russia's largest oil companies last month, threatening sanctions on those who buy from them.
Also in the programme: 10 years after the Paris climate change conference agreed to limit global warming, we'll analyse what has been achieved by the agreement; we'll look at how Tunisian opposition leaders are supporting each other by going on hunger strike; and we'll hear from the woman who took up golf in her 50s and just hit three holes in one in a month.
