After 54 die in truck crash, Mexico announces international fight against people-trafficking

After 54 migrants die in a truck crash, Mexico will work with Guatemala, the US, the Dominican Republic and Ecuador to combat people-trafficking.

Also on the programme: International donors agree to transfer hundreds of millions of dollars to prevent famine in Afghanistan. And what will Germany's new leader, Olaf Scholz, mean for the future of Europe?

Joining Anna Holligan to discuss these and other issues are Ulrike Franke, Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, and Tim Judah, Balkans correspondent at The Economist.
