Former UN Chief Kofi Annan Dies at 80

Kofi Annan, the first black African to become UN secretary-general, has died aged eighty in Switzerland. We hear from Edward Mortimer, former UN Director of Communications, who knew Mr Anna and worked for him for many years.

Also in the programme: We will have an update on the severe flooding in the southern Indian state of Kerala; and we speak to the head of Amnesty International in Turkey, freed this week from more than a year in jail, but still facing terrorism charges.
