BBC World Service - Weekend, New York City declares state of emergency

New York City Mayor, Erik Adams, calls for funding help as Texas busses in migrants

New York City Mayor, Erik Adams, calls for funding help as Texas busses in migrants.

The Mayor of New York, Erik Adams, has declared a state of emergency in the city as Texas Governor Gregg Abott continues bussing migrants to the state.

Also, four women have been hired to work in what's probably the most remote location in the world - Goudier Island in Antarctica.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Caroline Frost, a British writer and entertainment and media journalist; and Samir Puri, a British author and visiting lecturer in War Studies at King's College London.
