大象传媒

Presented by Jane Garvey. Jane looks back on and updates some of the stories the programme has covered from around the world this year with the help of Inma Gil of the 大象传媒's Spanish American Service and Dr Jieyu Liu of the White Rose East Asia Centre at Leeds University. Ingrid Betancourt and Natascha Kampusch describe their experiences of captivity. What is the new Brazilian president, Dilma Rousseff likely to do when she takes up office in the New Year? There's news from the Maldives about an initiative to encourage more women to take part in rowing. Jane discusses whether China's one child policy will be relaxed and hears the experience of the artist, Aowen Jin who grew up in China as an only child. And there's music from the Venezuelan pianist, Clara Rodriguez and the classical guitarist, Xuefei Yang.
