On today's podcast we talk to Erin Kilbride of NGO Frontline Defenders who is on the border between Myanmar and Bangladesh, where thousands of Rohingya Muslim refugees are fleeing a campaign of village torchings, extrajudicial killings and gang rape by the Myanmar military, according to survivors and international rights groups.

Days away from a general election in Germany, we talk to Berlin Correspondent Derek Scally about why the vote matters even if Angela Merkel is all but assured a fourth term as Chancellor.

And we ask London Editor Denis Staunton what exactly Boris Johnson is up to that led to him being labelled a "back-seat driver" in the UK governments drive towards Brexit by his cabinet colleague Amber Rudd.
