Reporter Sally Hayden talks to Foreign Editor Chris Dooley about the plight of migrants from countries across Africa and the Middle East who, while trying to make their way to Europe, have instead been detained in Libya. Some of them have talked to Sally about the conditions there, including indefinite imprisonment, forced labour and a shortage of food. Last week an air strike on one detainment centre killed dozens of them, an act the UN is describing as a potential war crime. Why have they been attacked, and what is Europe's role in their predicament?
Also on the podcast, Peter Goff reports from Hong Kong where protestors remain sceptical and defiant despite city's leader Carrie Lam describing the proposed law at the heart of the trouble "dead".
