Leaving home to avoid war

BBC World Service - Newshour, Leaving home to avoid war

"Leaving the country is a good move", says Russian student who fled to Uzbekistan

"It's a bit immoral to stay in Russia if you have the opportunity to go", says student who's fled to Uzbekistan

Also in the programme: 200 years ago today a French linguist became the first person to translate the Egyptian hieroglyphics on the Rosetta Stone; and we meet the Congolese engineering team hoping to make history by launching a DIY rocket into space.
