Warfare - the Soundtrack of Their Lives - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

Children who are able to survive the ongoing civil war have to grow up fast in Yemen. Kate Adie introduces stories, insight, and analysis from correspondents around the world:



According to The United Nations, one child under five dies every ten minutes from preventable causes in Yemen. Orla Guerin meets some of the families struggling on and speaks to the President Ab’d Rabbu Mansur Hadi about the conflict.

In South Korea, Simon Maybin attends a lesson in the etiquette of dating, kissing and respecting your partner as the country tries to turn around its declining birth rate.

In Tunisia, Charlotte Bailey hears why young men are setting themselves on fire – just as Mohamed Bouazizi did in 2010. His death was one of the catalysts of the Arab Spring.

In the USA, Christine Finn follows in the footsteps of Henry David Thoreau and explores the shores of Walden Pond.

And as Justin Rowlatt leaves India and auctions off his belongings, he learns that you can put a price on just about anything.
