Don't Call It a Drone!

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, Don't Call It a Drone!

Correspondents around the world tell their stories and examine news developments.

Syria, Afghanistan, Greece, France, India. Stories from correspondents around the world, presented by Kate Adie.

Reporters worldwide. In this edition: Britain and France agree to co-operate on a new unmanned combat aircraft but all involved say - let's not call it a drone! The first round of the Syrian peace talks have come to an end in Geneva. You might think little's been achieved, but that's not necessarily the case. We go to meet the former warlord with links to Osama bin Laden who wants to be the next president of Afghanistan and to Work Street in Athens where, despite some upbeat government forecasts, the workers reckon there are more hard times ahead. And in Delhi, arguably the world's noisiest city, we visit the car horn bazaar to find the loudest hooter of them all.

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