Kenya and the UN General Assembly

Andrew Harding traces the intertwining stories of Kenya, Somalia and Nairobi which collided at Westgate mall; Nick Bryant sizes up the choreography of New York's diplomatic ballet

Andrew Harding explains how the stories of Kenya and Somalia began to intertwine long before the assault on Westgate Mall, and weighs up how Nairobi will be changed by the al-Shabaab attack. In New York, Nick Bryant is a newbie at the UN General Assembly, the world's foremost meeting of international power players - and he has some keen observations about the delicate choreography of the world's diplomatic ballet.
