Kevin Connolly bids farewell to Jerusalem; Bridget Kendall considers the lessons of a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ career analysing Russia and diplomacy; FOOC's own Tony Grant has final hints for writers

Pascale Harter introduces a special edition of From Our Own Correspondent focusing on the art of saying goodbye. Kevin Connolly bids farewell to Jerusalem, and considers sheer weight of history on any attempt to report from the city. Bridget Kendall, who's leaving her post as the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Diplomatic Correspondent, considers the lessons learnt during a career analysing Russia's past - and its likely future. And Tony Grant, who's taking his leave after 23 years producing this programme, has some sage advice for reporters writing for radio.
