Jeremy discusses the boy from Sierra Leone who can't go to school in Stockport because of Ebola fears, the cafe in Bristol that serves food from skips, song covers and Turkey.

Plus, we hear another real-time journey through the events, voices and music of World War One, going back in time to experience what happened after war broke out.

Today's episode is entitled The Siege of Antwerp.

In 20 episodes from 4th August through to December, Jeremy presents events as they unfold. Listeners will hear breaking news from the continent and at home; he'll be talking to the 'real people' of 1914; and hosting round-table discussions with contemporary experts on subjects from rationing to trench foot.

It's sound-tracked by music of the time, including army marching band numbers, classical compositions, and the tongue-in-cheek music hall melodies that would have been most familiar to a 1914 audience.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
