[Swprograms] BBCWS "Over To You" particularly interesting this week

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you care about what the BBCWS is up to these days, you might want
to listen to the current edition of "Over To You", available on-demand
through Sunday, November 4th, 1041 UT.

Nigel Chapman, head of the World Service, is interviewed about the new
TV services and the recent additional funding coming their way, and
addresses questions and concerns about the role of WS radio given this
new push into TV services.

There's also an interview with Lyse Doucet regarding how she prepares
for interviews of world leaders, such as her recent interview with the
Syrian president, and also an interview with the producer for Alan
Johnston's recent special "From Our Own Correspondent" where Johnston
recounts his Gaza kidnapping.

Lyse has the reputation for securing tough interviews...those who were
around in 2001 may remember Lyse interviewing Ralph Brandi when the
"Coalition to Save the BBC World Service" was trying to dissuade the
WS from ending shortwave services targeting North America.
