A Dramatic Turnaround

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, A Dramatic Turnaround

Head of state to enemies of the state - how the Muslim Brotherhood's fortunes have fallen.

Will the fall from favour of the Muslim Brotherhood increase extremist numbers in the Middle East? Plus despatches from Vanuatu, Cuba, Slovenia and the Gaza Strip. With Kate Adie.

Colouring in the spaces between the headlines. In this edition: from elected government to Death Row, the change in fortunes of the Muslim Brotherhood is creating ripples throughout the Middle East; livelihoods devastated by a cyclone - Vanuatu is the kind of place that only makes the news when it's bad news; the Cubans and Americans are talking at last, historic announcements seem imminent, but on the ground in Havana, it's clear the process of change is already well underway; 'it's lean, fast and elegant,' not a racing car, but the Danube Salmon, a fish whose very future, we hear, is under threat. And the only grand piano in Gaza has been located. We tell the story of how it was found and how it's being lovingly restored.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
