Nigeria Herdsmen Clashes Leave 86 Dead

Clashes between nomadic Fulani herdsmen and farmers in Nigeria have left 86 dead.

Clashes between nomadic Fulani herdsmen and farmers in Nigeria have left 86 dead. Dr Ini Dele-Adedeji of London's School of Oriental and African Studies tells us that the herdsmen are seeking more fertile lands in the centre of the country, because of the desertification of the Sahel region. Also in the programme, British MP's are voting on whether to build a third runway at Europe's busiest airport, London Heathrow. We hear the arguments on both sides from David Leam of the business lobby group London First, which supports the move, and Oliver Hayes of Friends of the Earth, which is opposed. Our regular workplace commentator Stephanie Hare considers how best to support a colleague who might be crying at work. Plus as the UK singles chart takes account of video streaming in its calculations for the first time, Ludo Hunter-Tilney, pop critic at the Financial Times, tells us how it could impact the music business.
