EU leaders meet with ex-Soviet states at a summit in Latvia, but stress it's not an anti-Russian beauty contest. We talk to Estonia's Prime Minister Taavi Rõivas, and get some analysis from Olexiy Solohubenko, the ±«Óătv's Eastern Europe specialist.

Plus we speak to the man who has been called the Sherlock Holmes of the art world - Chris Marinello, the boss of Art Recovery International.

Kai Ryssdal from our partner station Marketplace interviews the director of a documentary called Shake the Dust, which chronicles the influence of hip hop music and break-dancing in slums and ghettos all around the world.

And as the 60th Eurovision Song Contest gets underway in Austria, we discuss the politics and the business behind the glitz-and-pop-fest.
