From Our Own Correspondent at 60 - Correspondents on Special Despatches

Memorable reports on Libya during the war of 2011, Communist East Germany and Siberia. Gabriel Gatehouse, Emma Jane Kirby and Bridget Kendall in conversation with Pascale Harter.

Correspondents read and discuss some memorable despatches from the last decades. Gabriel Gatehouse loves a piece that Kevin Connolly wrote about going shopping in Libya during the war of 2011. Emma Jane Kirby admires Charles Wheeler's despatch from Communist East Germany in 1963. And Caroline Wyatt's story about how people fared - or didn't - during the unusually cold winter in Siberia in 2001 resonates with Bridget Kendall.
