Outlook

Human stories from behind the global headlines. With George Arney.

In this edition: How growing up in Ireland influenced an expert on terrorism; the women from Ethiopia who helped convict a child rapist; and the Arab-Israeli singer representing Israel at the Eurovision song contest.

Having grown up in Ireland during the troubles, Louise Richardson went on to become a professor at Harvard University in the United States, specialising in international security. In 2006 she wrote a book on the subject entitled 'What Terrorists Want'. Louise tells Outlook's George Arney why she believes America has got its response to the 9/11 attacks "catastrophically wrong". She also tells him about her latest role as Principal of the University of St Andrews in Scotland.
