We talk about the Wagner mercenary group's network in Africa

We talk about the Wagner mercenary group's network in Africa.

As the UN prepares to end its decade-long peacekeeping mission in Mali, there are fears that the security situation could deteriorate, leaving the Russian mercenary group Wagner to combat Islamist militants. We answer audience questions about Mali and Wagner’s operations there and elsewhere in Africa.

Three people in three big cities - Karachi, Lagos and London - share how they are dealing with rising prices.

Millions of listeners around the world followed the historic case of missing mum Lynette Dawson featured in the very successful podcast, the Teacher's Pet. Lynette's husband was convicted of ther murder last year. Chris Dawson has now also been convicted of sexual abuse in another case. We hear from Hedley Thomas, the jounalist behind the podcast.
