The EU opened the door for Turks to come in without visas. But will it happen?
Turks were this week offered a date for being able to enter European countries without a visa.

Also in this programme/podcast: Iraqi protesters burst into the Green Zone for the first time; Vietnam's got a problem with dead fish and social media; and the secret of Trump's success.
