The best of the world's arts, film, music and literature brought to you every day. Presented by Anna McNamee. On today's programme: As a new book of images of The Kennedys by Mark Shaw is published in the UK, we talk to the editor Tony Nourmand about how images help the political campaign. To mark the 200th anniversary of the Brothers Grimm we look at the tradition of fairy tales around the world - today we speak to Greek journalist Isaac Karipidis about the relevance of Greek mythology today. And we review the debut novel, Everybody’s Right, by award-winning Italian film director Paolo Sorrentino. Photograph by Mark Shaw.
