African migrants drown off coast of Yemen

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

It's feared that nineteen more African migrants drowned near the coast of Yemen when people smugglers forced them off a boat and into the sea. We hear from the UN agency at the scene. Also: a special report from Pakistan, as it prepares to mark 70 years since its inception as a nation state; and sonic agitators - how the stuff of spy fiction is causing a very real diplomatic rift between Cuba and the United States.
