The Colonel's Cameraman

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, The Colonel's Cameraman

The White House contemplates military action in Libya.

Meeting the man who took the pictures for the late dictator Colonel Gaddafi as speculation grows about a new military intervention in Libya. Plus other correspondents' stories.

Correspondents around the world tell their stories. In this edition Gabriel Gatehouse is back in Tripoli as speculation grows about a new military intervention in Libya; Mark Lowen is in Diyarbakir where there's been intense fighting between Turkish security forces and Kurdish militants; Miles Warde is in a dusty town on the edge of Kenya where there are plans for pipelines, resort cities and Chinese-built railways but the locals wonder if any of them will ever materialise; Claudia Hammond visits what they call a 'geriatric rehabilitation centre' in Cuba where, apparently, there's never a dull moment and Victoria Gill is in Antarctica meeting the rather amusing residents of a place called Moot Point.
