The latest on the aftermath of Storm Sandy, and the cancellation of the NY Marathon. And Beth Orton pays tribute to one of the great unsung musical heros, Terry Callier.
As the multi-billion dollars clean-up operation continues across the United States' north-eastern seaboard in the wake of Super storm Sandy, we speak to New York Congressman Gregory Meeks about the crisis facing the city, and Mayor Bloomberg's decision to cancel the Marathon. Also the singer songwriter Beth Orton pays tribute to one of the great unsung heroes of modern music - Terry Callier - who died at the age of 67. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Callier grew up with the likes of Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler and toured with George Benson and Gil Scott Heron. He recorded his first single, Look at Me Now, on Chess Records in the sixties, but many will remember his collaborations in his later years with Massive Attack and Beth Orton.
