Desperate humanitarian situation in the Sudanese state of North Darfur

The medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières has given a disturbing account of the increasingly desperate humanitarian situation in the Sudanese state of North Darfur. The charity said more than three hundred people had died in the state capital, El Fasher, since the conflict in the country started in April. And Finland is about to become the first country to bury spent nuclear fuel rods deep underground as a way of disposing of them. Today’s guests are Andrew Small, Senior Fellow at the Indo Pacific Programme of the German Marshall Fund and Latika Bourke, Australian author and journalist.
