From Our Own Correspondent: The Story That Never Was

The Story That Never Was

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, The Story That Never Was

The Libyans still waiting for reconciliation, and other reporters' despatches.

Correspondents in Libya, Jordan, Portugal, Croatia and Australia tell their stories and examine news developments in their region. Presented by Kate Adie.

It's the great reconciliation story which never happened -- Andrew Hosken in Libya on a homecoming which didn't take place. Nigel Wilson tells us of the dangers involved in trying to provide a taste of home to Syrians stuck in Jordan. Marie Keyworth on the Portuguese struggling to get by as the long recession continues. In Croatia, Mick Webb finds many enthusiastic about joining the EU - the country's set to become a full member next month. And who's for some red-braised wallaby tail with native fruits? Not many Australians apparently. Fuchsia Dunlop says there's a reluctance to tuck in to some of the local wildlife. 
Tony Grant produces From Our Own Correspondent.

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