	Description:		Three police officers have been found guilty of the extra-judicial murder of Kian Delos Santos, a teenager they said was a drug runner. President Duterte launched his “war on drugs” campaign in 2016 and since then police say 5000 dealers or users have been killed. We’ll hear from a local journalist and one of the country’s senators. Also in the programme: we’ll hear from an aid worker on the ground in Hudaydah, the Yemeni port that’s the lifeline for much of the population; and the story of the centuries-old Ninja oath discovered by researchers in Japan.
