Sweden reopens Assange rape inquiry

News and issues making the headlines each day.

Prosecutors in Sweden are to re-open their investigation into a rape allegation against the WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange.

He was evicted from the Ecuadorian embassy in London last month -- seven years after seeking refuge there to avoid extradition to Sweden.

Also on the programme: Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban is to meet President Trump in Washington today; and Sarajevo's 'war hostel' that offers visitors a taste of life in the city when it was under siege in the 1990s.
