Extraordinary personal stories from around the world.

Five years ago, the exiled Russian dissident and former KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned with a radioactive substance after meeting two Russian contacts at a hotel bar in London. He died 23 days later.

On Outlook today we hear from Alexander's widow Marina. She has recently won the right to a full inquest in a British court, and she is campaigning tirelessly for the truth to be known about her husband's death.
