Migrants re-appear in their thousands
Calm seas meant thousands of migrants risked the journey across the Mediterranean.
One year after the death of three-year-old Alan Kurdi shocked the world, migrants have this week taken advantage of calm seas in the Mediterranean to make the risky journey to Italy in their thousands. They're changing the political map of Europe too. Also in this programme/podcast: do setbacks for TTIP and Apple mean a shift in the tectonic plates for big business? what the fall of Dilma means for Brazil; and the Zika virus reaches Singapore.
