UN Calls for Ceasefire in Eastern Ghouta

BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, UN Calls for Ceasefire in Eastern Ghouta

The UN secretary general calls for an immediate end to fighting in the Syrian enclave.

In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective.

We hear from a doctor in Eastern Ghouta and we ask the spokesman for the UN Secretary General what the UN can do to stop the fighting.
We have a special report from Italy before the next month's elections - we hear from the main political parties and discuss whether Italian political trends reflect changing attitudes around Europe.
And we remember one of the most influential Christian preachers of the twentieth century - Billy Graham - with Rick Warren, a leading evangelical pastor of today.

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