Dozens of Coptic Christians Killed in Egypt

At least 45 Coptic Christians in Egypt have been killed in two blasts on Palm Sunday

Two blasts targeting Coptic Christians in Egypt on Palm Sunday have killed at least 45 people. An explosion at St George's Coptic church in Tanta killed 29 people. Hours later, a blast outside St Mark's Coptic church in Alexandria left 16 dead.

Also on the programme: clashes between anti-government protesters and police in the Venezuelan capital Caracas; and a friend reflects on the life of that pioneer of rock n' roll, Chuck Berry.
