African migrants drown off coast of Yemen

Migrants drown near the coast of Yemen when people smugglers force them into sea.

It's feared that nineteen more African migrants drowned near the coast of Yemen when people smugglers forced them off a boat and into the sea. We hear from the UN agency at the scene. Also: a special report from Pakistan, as it prepares to mark 70 years since its inception as a nation state; and sonic agitators - how the stuff of spy fiction is causing a very real diplomatic rift between Cuba and the United States.
