Listen now
Description
The UN Security Council is meeting to discuss the crisis in the Middle East as fears mount of a much wider war.

Also on the programme: As fresh allegations against former Harrods boss Mohammed Al Fayed emerge we ask the barrister representing dozens of women who've accused the late billionaire of sexual assault how they can get justice. And the singer Peter Gabriel on uncovering long-lost music by the Qawalli megastar Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
