Today on The Current:

  • Migrants stopped from entering Europe are often detained in Libya, but an airstrike on a detention centre near Tripoli on Tuesday has renewed safety concerns. We discuss the dangers for people in detention, and ask whether there's a political will to address them.
  • This summer, The Current is bringing you the best from CBC podcasts. Today we conclude Uncover: The Village, which explores numerous cases of missing and murdered men in Toronto's gay community, dating back to the 1970s.
