Syrian Refugees in Northern Iraq; Switzerland's Biggest Church Organ

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

Louise Redvers visits a Syrian refugee camp in Northern Iraq. She finds that the Syrians that have fled to Iraq are mostly Kurdish Syrians sharing the same language and culture as their hosts. She also finds that the Kurdistan Regional Government is providing free access to healthcare, jobs and education for all its visitors. Plus, James Luckhurst goes up a swiss mountain cable car to discover his favourite childhood instrument half way up the mountain. Next morning he manages to negotiate a play on Switzerland's biggest organ, bringing the hills alive with the sound of...well bringing the hills alive.
