The property developer who apologised for his part in the Irish financial crash.

Extraordinary personal stories from around the world. 

Today, the property developer who apologised for his part in the bubble that brought down the Irish economy. Simon Kelly lost one billion euros as the credit crunch hit in 2008. Last year he used a column in a national newspaper to become one of the first people to apologise for his part in the long-term damage created by the property bubble.  

Also, we hear from Imam Uddin, a Bangladeshi migrant worker who was sent to Afghanistan to build roads but was then held hostage for seven months.  

And, young Londoner Danielle Harriette, reports on how the forthcoming Olympic Games are set to transform the community where she lives.
