Top criminal court condemns US sanctions on officials
from dc · host Salai Dawtcemsang
The International Criminal Court has said it will continue to provide justice and hope to the victims of atrocities, after Donald Trump signed an order to impose US sanctions on its staff. The court said it stood firmly by its personnel. Mr Trump signed the order during a visit by the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces an ICC arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Gaza. We hear reaction from the former ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo. Also in the programme: we visit the border between Thailand and Myanmar and a strange city built on scams; and what whale song and language learning have in common.
