Death From Above

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, Death From Above

Reporters' despatches from around the world. The Taliban leader killed in a drone strike.

Correspondents around the world tell stories and examine news developments in their region. In this programme they're from Afghanistan, Turkey, Japan, Australia and Switzerland.

Insight, analysis, description and colour. Today, death on a dusty highway in Baluchistan and what that might mean for neighbouring Afghanistan; how the people of Hiroshima, where America set off an atomic bomb in 1945, feel about the imminent visit by President Obama; the Swiss have never joined the European Union so why are they so interested in the result of the in/out referendum in Britain next month? We hear how Turkey's Kurdish population fits into the President Erdogan's plan to continue being the dominant force in the country's politics and finally there's an account of a day delightfully wasted on a slow train journey across the south-eastern tip of Australia.

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