A strike by lawyers in Iceland could force the country out of Eurovision this year.

Iceland could be forced out of this year's Eurovision song contest before it even starts, because of a strike by Government workers. Maria Olafs has been chosen to represent the country with the song "unbroken". But Rhod hears how officials who oversee their voting process are taking action over pay.

Campaign groups are urging the EU to start a major search and rescue operation in the Mediterranean as 400 migrants are feared missing after their boat capsized off Libya.

Rhod speaks to Brigadier Martin Xuereb, former Chief of Defence for Malta and current Director of the Migrant Offshore Aid Station in Malta.
