Thirty years since the Berlin Wall came down
Thirty years since the Berlin Wall; the chances of re-election for Justin Trudeau
It's thirty years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, but whatever happened to the last leader of East Germany?
Also in the programme: The British prime minister, Boris Johnson, has sent an unsigned letter to EU leaders asking for a further extension to Brexit, this after a vote in parliament went against him.
Plus, protests in Chile and Lebanon; and as Canadians get ready to go to the polls, we'll look at chances of re-election for Justin Trudeau?
Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Farrah Jarrah, writer, radio broadcaster, and medical doctor; and Felia Allum, Senior Lecturer in Politics and Italian at the University of Bath in the UK, and an expert on mafia and organised crime.
