Extraordinary personal stories from around the world: today, we hear what life is like on the frontline of diplomacy. Ambassador Barbara Bodine was the American in charge of the reconstruction of Baghdad after the second Gulf War and had to deal with the aftermath of an Al Qaeda attack. Also, Europe's most travelled man, 56 year old Jorge Sanchez, says he has spent 30 years on the road and that travelling was more important to him than his wife, he's no longer married.
