The Billion-Dollar Heist

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, The Billion-Dollar Heist

A huge bank robbery in Europe's poorest country, plus other despatches.

Reports from around the world, including the great Moldovan bank robbery and correspondents' stories from France, Myanmar, Bulgaria and the South China Sea. With Kate Adie.

Reporters around the world. In this edition: what's happened to Moldova's missing billions? Tim Whewell has been investigating. Rupert Wingfield Hayes tells us about Beijing's controversial island-building in the South China Sea. How much cross-border cooperation is there between European intelligence services? Nick Thorpe's been making inquiries in Bulgaria. Tim Butcher, travelling in Myanmar, has come face to face with some of the country's racial tensions and the Paris authorities have been refurbishing some of the city's historic bandstands - Joanna Robertson says they have once again become a focus for summer pleasure and relaxation.

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