Migrant Ship Arrives in Spain

BBC World Service - Weekend, Migrant Ship Arrives in Spain

The port of Valencia welcomes the first group of migrants from the ship Aquarius

The first of more than 600 migrants who were refused entry by Italy and Malta have arrived in Spain. The migrants, who were rescued as they crossed the Mediterranean more than a week ago, were aboard an Italian coastguard vessel which docked at the port of Valencia shortly after dawn. Also on the programme: as government forces clash with Houthi rebels in the port of Hodeidah we get an update on the situation from the UN's Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen. And the acclaimed jazz musician Marcus Millar tells us about the experience of working with Miles Davis.
