A Happy Ending

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, A Happy Ending

A plea to a king is answered, and other stories from around the world.

Reporters offer insight, colour and analysis from Marrakech, Berlin, Gaza, Kolkata and Budapest. Presented by Kate Adie.

The stories behind the stories. In this edition: why Germany's ambivalence towards Russia may emerge as east meets west to discuss Ukraine next week; West Bengal plans to restore the lost glory of Kolkata - the idea is, we hear, to make it a bit more like London; life gets harder in the Gaza Strip as the interim government in neighbouring Egypt cranks up the pressure on Hamas; 'Isn't that you know who?' A chance meeting, in a Budapest hospital, with the man who is arguably Europe's most controversial leader. And what happened when our man in Marrakech asked the king to step in to save an ancient tradition from oblivion.
