UN declares famine in South Sudan

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

We report on how independence and civil war have led to starvation. And we talk to a government minister who denies there's a famine in parts of the country Brexit debate in the House of Lords - we discuss the role of the upper chamber in this historic legislation. Sir John Sawers remembers the Russian ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin, who has died suddenly in New York. And should we talk frankly about death?
