Venezuela crisis: Migrants dash to cross Peru border

Thousands of Venezuelans have rushed to cross into Peru in a bid to beat the introduction of tougher migration laws. 

Also in the programme: Kosovo marks 20 years since NATO's intervention; Pakistan gears up for its World Cup head to head with India on Sunday; and why why governments around the world are increasingly switching their countries' internet off

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Ian Black, a visiting senior fellow at the Middle East Centre at the London School of Economics and the former Middle East editor for the Guardian newspaper, and Ayesha Siddiqa, an expert on civil-military relations in South Asia.
