EA’s Political WorldView podcast is back after a summer break with Adam Quinn, Christalla Yakinthou, and Scott Lucas of the University of Birmingham.

This week considers the “migrant crisis” in Europe, fed by headline stories of thousands of refugees trying to move from France into Britain.

There’s a look at the man who has grabbed media attention with his own lurid tales about immigrants as well as comments on women, the Chinese, and use of bankruptcy to his own advantage: the candidate for the Republican nomination for US President, Donald Trump.

And in between, there are our Numbers of the Week.
