BBC World Service - The World This Week, EU and Turkey try to keep the migrants out

Turkey and the EU are working on a deal to stop migrants coming to Europe. Will it work?

The EU is trying to persuade Turkey to stop migrants fleeing to Europe. Turkey is demanding a high price. But is there less to the deal than meets the eye? Also in this programme/podcast: What the Sharapova case tells us about the business of drugs and sport; why it's increasingly hard to build nuclear power stations in Western Europe; and the man whose thinking inspired much of the philosophy of the group which calls itself Islamic State.
