Angus McDermid , browses through the archives to see how the world and perceptions of it have changed since the 1950s.
Joined by some of the BBC's present team of foreign correspondents, he explores the stories that have remained in the forefront, like East-West conflict, and remembering those that have become history, like the Vietnam War.
