BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, Sibelius, Saunas and Salmiakki

The crisis over Golden Dawn in Greece, and other stories from around the world.

International correspondents fill the gaps between the headlines, with reports from Thessaloniki, Abuja, La Reunion, Bucharest and Helsinki. Presented by Kate Adie.

Correspondents with colour and analysis from around the world: Theopi Skarlatos in Thessaloniki on the authorities' crackdown on the far right; Alex Preston is in what he calls one of Africa's most expensive and charmless capitals, Abuja in Nigeria; distant La Reunion, in the Indian Ocean, is a popular destination for well off French tourists -- Robin Denselow's been learning that's causing resentment among some local people; Tessa Dunlop discovers how a photographer's work is teaching residents in the Romanian capital, Bucharest, what happened to their city centre during the days of the Communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. And among correspondents there are many tales about daunting dishes -- here, Mark Bosworth in Finland talks of a national favourite: liquorice shot through with ammonium chloride. The programme is produced by Tony Grant.
