This week, we are joined by Spanish photographer Luis Tato, who was recently awarded the World Press Photo prize in the Africa category. Having witnessed firsthand the growing difficulty and danger of practising journalism while reporting on conflicts in East Africa, Tato calls for more respect and protection for reporters and photographers.
We also examine the increasingly dangerous situation facing journalists in Lebanon with our collaborator in Beirut, Elsa Yazbek Charabati. The latest symbol of this violence against the press is the murder of Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil, known as 'the Butterfly of the South', who was killed in an Israeli strike.
In this week's broadcast we also take a sneak peek at the new exhibition on the Spanish painter Francisco de Zurbarán at the National Gallery in London. This is the first major exhibition devoted exclusively to Zurbarán's work in the UK. It features 42 of the Baroque master's paintings, a third of which come from Spain, as the show's co-curator, Dr Francesca Whitlum-Cooper, tells us.
