BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, 02/06/2012

The BBC's foreign correspondents take a closer look at the stories behind the headlines.

Correspondents with colour and analysis of the week's stories: this week - Istanbul, eastern Congo, the Vatican, Delhi and Brooklyn, New York.

Fergal Keane meets exiled Syrians in Istanbul and finds little agreement among them about the way forward for their troubled country. 

Gabriel Gatehouse is in eastern Congo where politics, history and nature have conspired to create instability and danger. 

David Willey talks of unrest and dismay at the Vatican as Cardinals plot and the Pope speaks of betrayal.

Anu Anand's been meeting The Love Commandos in Delhi -- they help young couples who dare to get together without parental approval. 

And just ten miles from Wall Street and you're bathing in the Atlantic Ocean! Reggie Nadelson's in Brighton Beach, New York's most interesting ethnic enclave.

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