A Tunnel of Stories

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, A Tunnel of Stories

Kate Adie introduces reporters' stories from the doorways of the European Union.

Kate Adie introduces reporters' despatches from Hungary, Germany, Kazakhstan, the Central African Republic and the Republic of Ireland.

Insight, writing, storytelling. In this edition Nick Thorpe reflects on the many tales he's heard in months covering the migrant crisis at the gateways of Europe; Gabriel Gatehouse is in Germany where the influx of refugees has caused a surge in the popularity of right-wing anti-immigration parties; Stephanie Hegarty talks of her visit to the Central African Republic where UN-troops are trying to restore peace after violent clashes between Christian and Muslim militias; Jonathan Fryer goes to Astana in Kazahstan, a capital city with awe-inspiring architecture and a president determined that nothing will stand in the way of his plans for the country's future and Kieran Cooke goes to Ireland's holy mountain, Croagh Patrick in County Mayo, to investigate a claim that 'nature's greatest cathedral in the west is being severely damaged'.
