Mexico to work with international group to combat people-trafficking

After 54 migrants die in a truck crash, Mexico has announced it will work with Guatemala, the US, the Dominican Republic and Ecuador to combat people-trafficking.

Also on the programme: A Belarusian theatre group rehearsing in London have decided not to return to their country, fearing repression by Alexander Lukashenko's government. And a BBC investigation finds that the majority of female politicians in Afghanistan have fled the country since the Taliban took over.

Joining Anna Holligan to discuss these and other issues are Ulrike Franke, Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, and Tim Judah, Balkans correspondent at The Economist.
