The Kurds of Northern Iraq have long been caught in conflicts between their neighbours - we go back to 1975, when they were abandoned by Iran and the US after a deal was struck with Saddam Hussein.

Also on the show, we go back to the liberation of Paris in World War Two - and a military plane crash in the north of England on the same day which killed more than 30 primary schoolchildren.

Plus the Partition of India and rebellious Zimbabwean writer Dambudzo Marechera.
