Teenage Trafficking
Nearly 1,000 under-18s sought asylum in Britain last year, and the numbers are soaring
Nearly 1,000 under-18s sought asylum in Britain last year, and the numbers are soaring. As a result, people trafficking is becoming an increasingly lucrative business for international gangs. We report on why young people are risking everything to leave their war-torn countries to make new lives in the United Kingdom, and investigate the gangs masterminding their dangerous journeys.
Also on the show, the Brazilian martial art, capoeira; the Baffle Bag King answers listeners’ questions in a fly special; and the opera-singing conductor on the London buses.
