The Tourists Have Gone

Kate Adie presents reports from writers and journalists around the world, including a tourist exodus from Kenya, ethnic reconciliation in Sri Lanka and the European elections.

Stories from reporters around the world. In this edition: empty hotels and a deserted holiday coastline in Kenya as tourists head home after a Foreign Office terrorism warning; five years after the defeat of the Tamil Tiger rebels, the Sri Lankan government says the country's on the path to ethnic reconciliation - but is it? The coming European elections: will they reflect a growing wave of scepticism about the effectiveness of pan-continental government? How a huge public investment in art and culture has transformed the once grimy port of Nantes into France's most vibrant city and the disaster far from home which put an end to the last independent kingdom of Scotland three hundred years ago.
