Show Notes

In France extremist fighters, imprisoned on their return from Syria, are being sent to 'deradicalisation centres' to bring them back into the fold of French society. How does it work? Doesn't it sound a bit like "A Clockwork Orange'? Lara Marlowe reports on that story from Paris, and also on the unpopular, teetering government of Francoise Hollande. In Turkey President Recep Erdgoan has sacked his Prime Minister in a move seen as a consolidation of his increasingly authoritarian control. Stephen Starr reports from Istanbul. And Derek Scally is in Poland where a constitutional crisis rumbles on over moves by the authoritarian right-wing Law & Justice party to appoint justices to the Constitutional Court.
