The Most Dangerous Job in the World?

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, The Most Dangerous Job in the World?

The Liberian ambulance woman dealing daily with Ebola patients, and other reports.

In everyday close contact with Ebola - an ambulance woman in Liberia tells her story, and other correspondents' despatches from around the world. Presented by Kate Adie.

Gabriel Gatehouse with the medical team who have collected hundreds of Ebola patients from their homes in the Liberian capital, Monrovia; Andrew Hosken on the extraordinary efforts made by the people of Baghdad to clear up amidst a new wave of bombings; once a part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, the city of Trieste now has an independence movement which believes the place would be better off severing its ties to Rome - Tara Isabella Burton's been there to listen to their argument; how can a herd of cows indicate the economic health of a nation? It's a question Damien McGuinness has been addressing in the German capital, Berlin; and three-solid-meals-a-day man James Jeffrey's been getting to know about the extreme fasting traditions of Ethiopia.
