Deadline Day For US Authorities To Reunite Migrant Families

We hear the story of a woman due to be reunited with her son after weeks apart.

In the United States, more than 2500 migrant children aged between 5 and 17 remain separated from their families. The government has been given until today to reunite them. We hear the story of one woman, who is to be reunited with her son after weeks apart and discuss the legal ramifications of the policy. Also on the programme, what can we expect to happen in Pakistan once the new Prime Minister, the former cricketer Imran Khan, takes up office? And we hear about the surprising technique which Swedish authorities hope will be effective in controlling the wildfires in the north of that country.
