European Commission president to visit Lampedusa

The President of the European Commission, Ursula Von Der Leyen, will visit the Italian island of Lampedusa on Sunday. She is there to discuss the unprecedented number of migrants who arrived last week.

Also in the programme: the number of deaths from Libya's catastrophic flooding continues to rise; and we delve deep into an album that's been recorded in a US prison.

Joining host Audrey Brown to discuss this and more are Taran Khan, an Indian journalist and writer, and Marcus Chown, British science journalist and writer.
