John Morrison is in conversation with Charles Johnston, a security consultant whose work has taken him to some of the world's trouble spots. Charles talks about his work with aid agencies in Sudan during the country's civil war from 1983-2005 and shortly afterwards in the US city of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city.

In Sudan, Charles was working with aid agencies who provided medical assistance and food aid to civilians affected by both the fighting and, at times, famine. New Orleans in 2005 was a different kind of challenge. Charles worked for a power company whose power plant in the city had been taken over by criminal drug gangs in the chaos after the flooding caused by the hurricane.
