Kate Adie gathers despatches from Spain, Burma, Libya, Poland and India.

Correspondents around the world take a closer look at the stories behind the headlines. Kate Adie gathers despatches from Spain, Burma, Libya, Poland and India.

Paul Mason on how the big bank bailout in Spain has failed to calm people's worries about how their government's tackling the financial crisis.

Lucy Hooker has travelled to Burma to try to find out exactly why the authorities there are so keen to forge ahead with plans for reform and democracy

Rana Jawad is in Libya where people, she contends, believe that outbreaks of violence and a state of near-anarchy are the prices to pay for freedom from the tyranny of the years of the Gaddafi dictatorship.

David Shukman, noting how footballers at the European championships have been given tours of the Auschwitz camp, has been meeting Poles at a nearby village to see how their country's history is treated there.

And, for Anu Anand, finding out about her ancestors wasn't just a matter of clicking away at the Internet. For her, finding out about ten generations of her family involved special priests, a trip to the River Ganges, and a search for an ancient banyan tree.

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