"Can you hear the shooting?" Ex-pat listeners recall witnessing Middle East crises. We hear from a former soldier about being trapped in the Libyan desert during the 1969 coup, and a woman who opted to hide from Iraqi troops in occupied Kuwait rather than become a 'human shield'. Radio 4 favourite Kathy Clugston reads Your News, 'live' and without a rehearsal. John Simpson also lends a hand. With Eddie Mair and Becky Milligan. [email protected].
