BBC World Service - Outlook, Forgiving myself after killing a classmate

Lis Cashin accidentally killed a friend with a javelin and spent years overcoming guilt

Lis Cashin’s life was defined by a tragic childhood incident – she accidentally killed her school friend with a javelin on sports day and spent years overcoming the guilt.

When Lis Cashin was 13, she took part in a javelin competition in her school sports day. But in a freak accident, the javelin veered off course, and a friend of hers was killed. Lis has spent decades trying to deal with the tragedy, and learning how to forgive herself. She tells her story to Jo Fidgen.

Slobodan Simić is a former Serbian parliamentarian turned donkey farmer. He runs a nature reserve which produces a rare delicacy - Balkan donkey cheese. Priced at over $1,000 per kilogram, this cheese is possibly the most expensive in the world.
