BBC Radio Scotland - Breaking News, Episode 8

Angus Roxburgh shares some of the most poignant memories from his career in journalism.

Colin Blane talks to Scottish journalists and reporters about the biggest breaking news stories of their careers.

A word which often comes up when talking about journalists is 'dispassionate'. The need to be 'free from emotion; impartial'. But how do you stay dispassionate when you're a witness to some of the worst of man's inhumanity to man? Colin Blane travels to Brussels to meet Angus Roxburgh who's experiences reporting on the former Soviet Union have left him haunted by images of the best and worst of human behaviour.
