BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, 09/06/2011

Kate Adie hosts correspondents around the world looking behind the news headlines.

Kate Adie introduces despatches from Kevin Connolly in Israel, Rayhan Demetrie in Bishkek, Tracey Logan in Dublin, Tom Blass in Antwerp and Lucy Williamson in Seoul.

Amid uproar in and around Syria, Kevin Connolly considers suggestions that there have been attempts by the authorities in Damascus to manipulate the news agenda to distract the world from events going on in their country. A year after violent disturbances in the Kyrgyz town of Osh, Rayhan Demytrie, who covered those events, considers the difficult legacy they've left in their wake; Tracey Logan is in the Republic of Ireland examining how an EU directive, aimed at protecting Ireland's peat bogs, is being widely flouted. Tom Blass takes a walk in a Belgian village which has been swallowed up by the inexorable growth of Antwerp's docklands. And South Korea's a country which takes recycling very seriously - it's causing our correspondent there, Lucy Williamson, some difficulty.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
