      <link>http://odeo.com/episodes/25413681-Interview-President-Paul-Kagame-06Nov09</link>
      <description>Paul Kagame is the man who has led Rwanda out of the genocide that took place fifteen years ago. His priority has been to rebuild Rwanda and put the terrible ethnic divisions firmly in the past. His country is now described as bright and promising with a growing economy and a determined workforce. Yet President Kagame faces repeated international criticism for a lack of democracy and freedom of expression inside Rwanda, and his country's actions in Congo. So which view of Rwanda is right? President Paul Kagame talks to Owen Bennett Jones about the task he faces.</description>

      <link>http://odeo.com/episodes/25392231-Interview-Rafael-Correa-Delgado-30Oct09</link>
      <description>President Rafael Correa Delgado is a Western-educated economist who says he is fighting for social justice. He became president of Ecuador in 2007 on a populist message of speaking out for the poor and boosting development, while integrating more with the region -- in particular with the group of left-wing countries that have now emerged in Latin America. He also wants to put environment at the centre of policy. So can he make a difference?</description>

      <description>This week on The Interview we have a couple, Mark and Nicky Webster. Mark and Nicky tell Carrie Gracie about their battle to get back their children, three of whom were taken into care and then adopted following medical evidence that the fractures on the leg of one of them could have been due to abuse. The medical evidence has since been questioned but the British adoption laws mean that they are unable to be reunited with their children. You can hear Mark and Nicky Webster's story on The Interview.</description>

      <title>Interview: Khandro Rinpoche</title>
      <link>http://odeo.com/episodes/25074994-Interview-Khandro-Rinpoche</link>
      <description>Khandro Rinpoche is a Buddhist teacher who is also a woman and the reincarnation of a renowned master. In this week's edition of the Interview she talks to Carrie Gracie about the particular stresses she has had to deal with as a result of that identification of her as a reincarnation, and how that identification has propelled her into a life of scholarship and contemplation. She also considers the nature of Buddhism and debates whether the religion has become over-formalised in recent years, and whether she has herself reached a state of enlightenment. Finally she muses on the eighteen or more kinds of hell that may await us in the next life, or even in this current one, and tells Carrie why she is not afraid of the life that is to come.</description>
