The Hagia Sophia holds its first Friday prayers in 86 years, just weeks after reverting back to a mosque. We look at Turkey’s legal arguments around the issue of sovereignty on administering the UNESCO site as well as the international reaction to the decision. Plus, recent media investigations show that refugees on Greek islands in the Aegean are starting to ‘disappear.' What's behind this disturbing trend that Athens has denied?
