Summary
Malta is to hold an independent public inquiry into the murder of anti-corruption journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. BBC investigative journalist, Alys Harte was the journalist adviser on the recent Radio 4 drama about Daphne’s life and explains the latest developments. What does it take for a mother to stop loving her child? Tracy-Ann Oberman plays a woman whose teenage son is accused of violent sexual crimes in ‘Mother of Him’. While, playwright Anupama Chandrasekhar's new play ‘When the Crows Visit’, set in India, examines the same crisis. They discuss how they have approached a most difficult subject. Suzanne Ciani was an early pioneer in electronic music and sound design in the 60s and 70s. The five time Grammy award nominated composer joins talks about a career spanning four decades. And, we continue our look at the power of music to change the lives of women with dementia. Today we discuss why and how music can be so important for people living with dementia.
