Housing targets and 21st Century Folk

Jeremy discusses new housing targets with the deputy prime minister, riots in Southport after the vigil for victims of the deadly knife attack, doctors' pay and 21st Century Folk.

Jeremy discusses new housing targets with the deputy prime minister, riots in Southport after the vigil for victims of the deadly knife attack, and the pay deal for junior doctors in England. And Jeremy showcases 21st Century Folk, a brilliant Radio 2 initiative where legends of folk write and perform songs inspired by five people who have a powerful connection to the sea. Today, we talk to Vicky Murphy, who was 8 months pregnant when she and her husband Marc were rescued from a flooded cave in Cornwall by two lifeguards. We are joined by Martyn Joseph, who performs a song that he has written which is based on their story.
