EU leaders meet with ex-Soviet states at a summit in Latvia, but stress it's not an anti-Russian beauty contest. We talk to Estonia's Prime Minister Taavi RΓµivas, and get some analysis from Olexiy Solohubenko, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Eastern Europe specialist.

Plus we speak to the man who has been called the Sherlock Holmes of the art world - Chris Marinello, the boss of Art Recovery International.

Kai Ryssdal from our partner station Marketplace interviews the director of a documentary called Shake the Dust, which chronicles the influence of hip hop music and break-dancing in slums and ghettos all around the world.

And as the 60th Eurovision Song Contest gets underway in Austria, we discuss the politics and the business behind the glitz-and-pop-fest.
