Unemployment hits a five-year high

World at One

Available for 28 days

The picture is particularly bad for young people- we discuss with two national employers. Also on The World at One, the Civil Rights Icon Jesse Jackson has died. We'll look back at his remarkable life. And, as both Ramadan and Lent begin, the Archbishop of Westminster and the first female head of the Muslim Council of Britain join us to discuss the significance to their communities.
