Anger and fear as virus-hit cruise ship arrives in Tenerife

Weekend

Available for 29 days

The arrival of the MV Hondius in Tenerife and preparations for the disembarkation of passengers for their repatriation 'has taken place in a totally normal way,' according to Spanish authorities. Also in today's programme: An emotional return to Sudan's capital, Khartoum, for one of our BBC colleagues, Mohanad Hashim; and, Seret, the Israeli International Film Festival comes to London. But with recent antisemitic attacks in the UK do the filmmakers feel welcome? Presenter Rebecca Kesby is joined by James Crabtree, a geopolitical analyst and author based in London, and Joana Ramiro, Communications Director of the US-based The Democracy Collaborative think tank and research centre.
