A Poet at War

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, A Poet at War

A poet is caught up in fighting in eastern Ukraine. Plus more of the week's news stories.

Reports include a poet's view of the bitter conflict in eastern Ukraine, and despatches from Nigeria, Guatemala, Pakistan and Switzerland. Presented by Kate Adie.

Foreign correspondents. Today: can a meeting of presidents halt the fighting in eastern Ukraine? Why the international health workers who've come to tackle the Ebola virus in west Africa are not always welcome. Deported from the US - and back home in Guatemala; why life is difficult for many of the returnees. On leaving Pakistan, there are many happy memories -- but none of them, one departing correspondent says, feature the national airline PIA. And it may be a cool damp summer in Switzerland, but the stories coming from parliament are distinctly hot and steamy.
