The Dry Bones of a Thousand Empires
Reporters look behind the headlines and examine news developments in their region, including stories from Damascus, Flensburg, Hasankeyf, Toulouse and Copenhagen.
Correspondents' despatches: Jeremy Bowen in Damascus reflects on the lessons a reporter learns after more than twenty years covering conflicts around the world; Steve Evans meets a lady down on her luck in a Baltic port city as Germany prepares for new elections; Diana Darke looks at Turkey's huge 'GAP' water project and wonders if it will work for or against the country's Kurdish population; near Toulouse in France they've found a crashed German wartime aircraft in a cave -- and some locals, it seems, weren't all that keen on digging up its history and can Emma Thomas really get to grips with the Danish language without looking at textbooks or going to classes. All will be revealed.
Tony Grant produces From Our Own Correspondent.
