BBC World Service Director Jamie Angus, Dr. Mel Bunce, founder of the Humanitarian News Research Network, Rose Caldwell, Executive Director of Concern Worldwide (UK) and Chair of the International Broadcasting Trust (IBT), and Rosamond Bennett, Chief Executive of Christian Aid Ireland, discuss the state of reporting on humanitarian issues within a news agenda seen as being dominated by Brexit and Trump.
