Dreams Deferred, Hope On Hold

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, Dreams Deferred, Hope On Hold

Immigrants in limbo as their US court hearings are put on hold.

There is a further setback for President Obama's immigration reform plans, plus despatches from China, India, Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Presented by Kate Adie.

Reporters' stories. Obstacles to President Obama's immigration reforms pile up: it could mean a long wait for those who came looking to become legal US citizens. Will prime minister Modi's plans for investment in India's infrastructure adversely affect the country's longterm development? 60,000 Indian troops were killed fighting for the British in World War One - we visit the battlefield in France where they fought their first major engagement. A freak injury in China provides an unexpected opportunity to examine the accident and emergency facilities of a Chinese hospital. And we meet a group of young men in D R Congo's capital Kinshasa whose outrageous dress sense brings rush-hour traffic and even football games, to a standstill.
