Anti-colonial riots in New Caledonia, humanitarian crisis in Sudan, oil rush in the South Pole

On today's episode of Battle Lines we speak to The Telegraph's
Paris correspondent Henry Samuel about the unlikely link between
Azerbaijan and pro independence riots in France's Pacific island
of New Caledonia. Then, Africa correspondent Ben Farmer
describes the dire humanitarian situation in the besieged
Sudanese city of El Fashir. Finally, we speak to Energy Editor
Jonathan Leake about how the discovery of oil near Antarctica
could spark a rush for resources at the South Pole.
