Wednesday 2nd July
I heard From Our Own Correspondent on Radio 4 for the first time last week. In each programme BBC correspondents from Radio 4 and the World Service report a more personal and in-depth side to the stories that are in the headlines, and stories that the media has passed by. Last week they had a piece by Tristana Moore about daily life around Basra. I found it interesting and quite affecting with the descriptions provided illustrating the struggle to survive very succinctly. It shows the depth of anti-American feeling and how individual tragedies can enforce hatred.
