Troops fire on Sudanese protesters

Hundreds of thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators took to the streets, in Sudan, in protest at the military coup carried out last Monday. It's been reported that at least three demonstrators have been killed by troops in the city of Omdurman. The protestors were demanding the reinstatement of the ousted prime minister, Abdullah Hamdok.

Also in the programme: a look at a new dramatised documentary which focuses on the lives and work of two police officers in Mexico City.

And, our arts correspondent discusses Nadifa Mohamed’s new book, The Fortune Men, which tells the true story of a Somali sailor who, 70 years ago, was hanged for a murder which happened in the Welsh capital, Cardiff but which he did not commit.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Rachel Shabi, a journalist, author and broadcaster, and Paul Basu, an anthropologist and academic.
