South African Phindile Sithole-Spong was born HIV positive, but only found out when she was 19, after both her parents had died.

On 22 September 1993, British student Tim Palmer was backpacking across America.

The American singer-songwriter Barry Manilow has been writing hits for the past 40 years. They include Mandy, Copacabana and Can't Smile Without You. But his latest album takes him in a new direction. By the wonders of modern technology, Barry has recorded duets with his favourite singers from the past including Marilyn Monroe and Whitney Houston. All his singing partners on the new album have one thing in common: - they are dead.
