The Noise of the Typhoon

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, The Noise of the Typhoon

The doughty victims of Typhoon Haiyan, and other despatches from around the world.

The doughty victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, and other reporters' despatches from Sri Lanka, Israel, Nigeria and Moldova. Presented by Kate Adie.

The noise and devastation of Typhoon Haiyan: Andrew Harding on the first town in the Philippines to feel the force of the storm; Charles Haviland on how the furore surrounding the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Sri Lanka has pushed the Tamil north of the country into the news spotlight; Nicholas Wade travels to Jerusalem to hear people's views about the latest attempts to reach a Middle East peace settlement; Moldova and other former Soviet satellites are due to sign a trade deal with the EU and Tessa Dunlop has been finding out that not everyone there feels it's a good idea to turn their backs on Russia; and Will Ross has been taking time off from the hard news of Nigeria to take a look at its thriving arts scene - and a novel use for the xylophone! 

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.
