The Talion Series: murder and mystery by J.K. Franko

In today's broadcast, and after taking a look at the news, we talk about a trilogy of crime novels and thriller written by American author J.K. Franko, who was in Madrid presenting the Spanish translation of his work. With his background in Philosophy and Law, the author explores the different aspects of criminal justice and legal system in a story of a perfect crime.

We also hear from our correspondent in Lebanon, Elsa Yazbek, who tells us about a protest for women's rights, and Amy Egan follows the opening of the new branch of the Cervantes Institute in Edinburgh with words from its director Alexis Grohmann.
