Party leaders hit the campaign trail

BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, Party leaders hit the campaign trail

The first full day of campaigning in the general election.

On the first full day of campaigning for the general election - party leaders have been road-testing their slogans. On a day of claims and counter-claims about immigration - we do some fact-checking - and reflect on the campaign with our political editor. 

Also on the programme:

A rare report from inside military-controlled Myanmar - on the human cost of the rebel insurgency.

And, at the Chelsea Flower Show, a garden that helps torture victims cope with their trauma.
