Rigorous analysis of news and current affairs, presented by Martha Kearney.

The Queen becomes the longest-serving monarch. And, as the EU President sets out plans for compulsory refugee quotas, his deputy talks to the programme.

The Queen becomes the longest serving British Monarch. We hear tributes from politicians, and ask what she means to the public.
The President of the EU has set out plans for compulsory quotas for countries to accept 160 000 refugees. His deputy tells us that Gulf states must do more to alleviate the situation, and that there will be no sanctions against states who refuse to take their quota. 
Our MPs panel of Greg Clarke, Tristram Hunt and Stewart Hosie discuss the British response to the migrant crisis, and extended British military action in Syria.

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