A special live edition from W1: Freedom's Paths
From Our Own CorrespondentAvailable for over a year
A special edition of FOOC coming live from the very doorstep of New Broadcasting House. Pascale Harter fields a quartet of correspondents to reflect on freedom's different paths around the world: Audrey Brown examines what questions political freedom has put to rest in South Africa, and which still remain; Gabriel Gatehouse tells the tale of an interpreter and heavy metal fan trapped by the consequences of intervention in Iraq; Shaimaa Khalil revels in the bright colours and free speech to be found in Yemen - but usually behind closed doors; and Jeremy Bowen asks how long the ripples of the Arab Spring will be felt across the Middle East. Producer: Penny Murphy
