The role President Macron is playing in the Brexit saga; planned protests in Barcelona

We hear from Paris at the role President Macron is playing on the Brexit saga.

Also in the programme:  Here in Europe, Protests are planned in Barcelona. Pro-independence Catalans are angry at the jailing of separatists leaders.

Plus, what's in a book tittle?  We hear from the Turkish writer who has just penned 'The Lion and the Nightingale', charting a year in his country's recent history.

And, a million people took  part in a peaceful march through the streets of Chile's capital, Santiago.  After a week of protest, what exactly do the protesters want?
