Outlook

Available for over a year

Lost on a train in Mumbai and separated from his family at the age of six, hear how Ganesh Raghunath Dhangade tracked down his mum 20 years later thanks to the faded tattoo on his arm. Eliot Higgins is the unemployed British man who became an expert in the weapons used in the Syrian conflict - by watching videos on the internet. He is regularly contacted by human rights groups and media organisations for advice. American Joshua Prager was disabled in a road accident in Israel. When Joshua met the truck driver who had caused the crash, he found him unrepentant. And, we speak to Iranian actress Shohreh Aghdashloo about the moment when she was nominated for an Oscar.
