Italy's Migrants, and a ‘Mad’ Danish Food Conference
What welcome awaits immigrants making a dangerous trek across the Mediterranean? Plus, a ‘mad’ Danish food conference.
Italy is no stranger to economic and political turmoil, but its position on the southern end of Europe means it draws in migrants fleeing places that are much worse off in Africa and the Middle East. This year the steady flow has become a huge torrent as thousands risk a dangerous trip across the Mediterranean. Emma Jane Kirby has been watching the arrivals.
Also in the programme, what is cooking? We are not talking about dinner tonight, but rather the main topic under discussion at an innovative food conference in the Danish capital, Copenhagen. Nikita Gulhane reports.
