World Service,08 Sep 2002,13 mins

Diloram Ibrahimova from Uzbekistan

Talking To My Family

Available for over a year

Ibrahimova shares some of the dilemmas of working for the World Service including discovering shameful news about her in-law and subsequent race to adopt her nephew; and how her father holds her to account for BBC issues when she phones home. However, unlike at home, she can speak nostalgically and freely in 'a culture of openness - in Britain'.
