From Our Own Correspondent: Europe's Migration Turmoil

Europe's Migration Turmoil

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, Europe's Migration Turmoil

Europe's migration crisis from Prague and Vienna, and Azerbaijan locking up critics.

Including reports on Europe's migration crisis from Prague and Vienna, Azerbaijan locking up critics, speed, skill and hard stares on the hurling field, and slow trains in America

Kate Adie introduces correspondents' stories. This week, as Europe agonises over how to deal with the flow of migrants heading westwards, we hear two different perspectives from the Continent: in Vienna they've been shocked into action, while in Prague the loudest message is "keep out." Azerbaijan is spending millions on trying to improve its image but our correspondent says it should save its money and just stop locking people up. In Ireland speed, skill and passion are the order of the day on the pitch - and having a Putin-like stare helps. While on America's Amtrak network it's less a question of speed and more a matter of finding your moment of Zen.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
