BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, God Bless Hungary!

Hungarians bury their differences to fight the floods, and other despatches.

Kate Adie introduces correspondents' despatches from the floods in Hungary and from Gaza, Croatia, Nepal and Israel.

Hungarians fight the floods! This collection of despatches from radio correspondents includes Nick Thorpe in Budapest on how people buried their differences and worked together to save their capital from an overflowing River Danube. Bethany Bell says they're picking cherries in the Golan Heights as the Syrian war rages on in the valley below. Croatia's about to join the EU - but Andy Hosken finds that the campaign to eradicate old ethnic animosities has only achieved limited success. Yolande Knell's in Gaza from where, in recent times, rockets have been fired at Israel. She discovers how Gazans are coping with the sanctions imposed on them by the Israelis. And who's responsible for climate change in the Himalayas? Kieran Cooke, who was there, is told the answer - by a Hindu holy man! 
From Our Own Correspondent is produced by Tony Grant.

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