Spectres of old Naples

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, Spectres of old Naples

The ghosts of the past come alive in ancient Naples, and other correspondents' despatches.

Buried amid layers of ancient history, the past is revealed in Naples. Kate Adie presents this and other reporters' despatches from Lahore, Tunis, Kentucky and Sydney.

Reporters. Today: Alan Johnston on the richness of the past lying in the bones of the buildings in the historic heart of old Naples; Hugh Sykes in a minibus taxi in Tunis after an election which proved a victory for the secularists; Shaimaa Khalil in Lahore visits a palace of beauty which has been forced to face up to some ugly attitudes; Jon Donnison in Sydney talks to Muslims about the wave of Islamophobic attacks in cities across Australia; James Coomarasamy meets an unconventional mayor in Kentucky as the USA gears up for the mid-term elections.
