Turkish Lira Loses Against Dollar
News and issues making the headlines each day.
Turkey's embattled currency, the lira has hit a new record low today against the US dollar, losing some five percent in value as strains with the United States showed no sign of easing.
Also in the programme: We hear from families of the victims of Sbrebrenica, where 23 years after the massacre the process to identify their loved ones goes on; and as the row worsens over comments made by the former foreign secretary Boris Johnson, we ask is it time for a new definition of Islamophobia?
