Senator Lucio Malan gives his reaction to the death of Franco Lamolinara in a failed rescue attempt in Nigeria and we hear from Japan nearly a year after the earthquake and tsunami.
Senator Lucio Malan tells Dotun Adebayo why Italian authorities aren't happy about not being consulted prior to the failed rescue attempt of a British and an Italian hostage in Nigeria.
The Senator said - 'If things were the opposite and this was an action taken by the Italian forces with a British citizen involved then with this outcome then I am sure that we would have been asked explanations by the British government and that would be probably understandable.'
Nearly a year after the T艒hoku earthquake and tsunami devastated swathes of northern Honshu and Hokkaido, Roland Buerk speaks to us from Rikuzentakata, one of the villages struck by the disaster. Later Mike Kloran, an illustrator who was in Fukashima when the 'quake hit tells us about the ongoing human cost of the disaster.
Penny Lawrence, International Programme Director for Oxfam, is in Mali for the launch of a an appeal to help support people across the Sahel where a major drought is just one factors which has led to a food crisis.
In the film phone-in Dotun is joined by veteran film journalist, Leonard Klady and Up All Night's tame geek to talk films set in space or on other worlds. Is 'Forbidden Planet' the yardstick by which all other SF films should be judged?
