Neil Arun didn’t want to miss a rare but risky opportunity to embed with an Iraqi police unit, hunting members of al Qaeda. But his employers -- responsible for Neil’s security -- weren’t happy. This film by Richard Pendry nvestigates how a frontline journalist balances risk and reward.
If you only listen to one Tory (with belief) this week, listen to Michael Portillo's "Democracy On Trial" at 9:30 tonight on Radio 4. 93.5 FM for anyone who doesn't know where to find it. Mr Portillo is the son of a Spanish refugee who fled during the Spanish Civil War, so should fit into our revision just nicely. Political heavyweights Francis Fukuyama tells of his "End of History" theory, as do many other guests tell of how capitalism is fought for in the name of democracy. Learn why there is no need for democracy if there is oil in the ground and other revealing ideas that will shape your understanding to how democracy started, what it has become and the "the fourth estate's" role in all of the above. I sincerely hope you all listen to this radio programme, you will not be disappointed!
