BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, 16/02/2012

Featuring reports from Greece, the Maldives, Russia, Liberia and County Mayo.

Can Greece ever come back from this crisis? Paul Mason's on the road to Patras and encountering a deep sense of gloom as the country's debt drama moves into a new phase. Andrew North is in the Maldives where there's been regime change and little in the way of opposition from the international community. As relations between Russia and the West nosedive amid arguments over Syria, a tale from Steve Rosenberg about the time when two Englishmen used football to boost productivity in Russian textile factories. Africa's big football match - Tamasin's Ford's at a sweltering screening in a refugee camp in Liberia. And very different weather in County Mayo: the winds howl and the hail lashes down as Kieran Cooke inspects a construction causing controversy in the far west of Ireland.
