Migrant caravan in Mexico

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Migrant caravan in Mexico

Thousands of migrants travel through Mexico to the US border.

As thousands of migrants on foot from southern Mexico in an effort to reach the United States border, we speak to those on the caravan. Around 7,000 people mainly from South and Central America, including thousands of children, are estimated to have joined the migrant caravan. Ahead of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit, we get the latest from a journalist there.

We hear from Jacob Burns, a project co-ordinator for the charity Medicines Sans Frontiers in Gaza. He's been sending us updates about his daily life from inside a hospital in Gaza.

There is no doubt that this has been Taylor Swift's year, here on OS we have certainly covered news about the singer-songwriter numerous times. Time Magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year, is the most streamed female artist on Spotify and Apple, and last week she achieved a record 90 weeks at number 1 on the US Billboard Artist 100 chart. We speak to experts about her rise to super-stardom.
