Reading the Signs

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, Reading the Signs

Correspondents' stories from India, Russia, the US-Mexico border, France and Vermont.

Kate Adie introduces Justin Rowlatt in Delhi, Gabriel Gatehouse in St Petersburg, Alexander Beetham on the US-Mexico border, Hugh Schofield in France and Christine Finn in Vermont.

Kate Adie introduces correspondents' stories. Today: Justin Rowlatt, in the smog of Delhi, hears how Theresa May's hopes of brokering a free-trade deal with India could be much harder than the government would admit to. Gabriel Gatehouse is shown a decades old piece in St Petersburg as the authorities tell people to prepare for the worst. Alexander Beetham, on the US-Mexico border, comes face-to-face with some of those Donald Trump says he will keep out of the US. Hugh Schofield wonders about the decline in the art of sign-painting in France and what it says about small-town life. And Christine Finn is in a forest of colours, with the leaf-peepers of Vermont.

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