Should euthanasia be an option for alcoholics? A conversation sparked by a decision in the Netherlands to grant euthanasia to a man who had been fighting alcoholism for years. Also in today's show: pro-Biafra campaigners stay in jail in Nigeria after their bail application is refused; Aleppo under bombardment; and life in the Brazilian town of Chapeco two days on from the plane crash that killed most of the local football team.
