Hi, this is Kevin Fong. And before you get to the podcast you've downloaded, I just wanted to tell you about 13 minutes to the moon, which is available now.

It's the definitive story of the Apollo Moon landings as told to me by some of the people who made it happen.

That's 13 minutes to the moon, a new podcast from the BBC World Service.

And I'll be back a little later to tell you more about it.

Hi Anna Shahead. to tell you more about it. I am in Lebanon. When, when are to come into sea lei?

My name is Zah Sahara Macaui. This is Beyond Borders on the BBC World Service.

Hi Sahara, I'm Brandy. Happy to hear you are coming. You will be on the World Cup here. I want to ask you who you're supporting.

For me I will I support in Germany.

I'm a filmmaker and for the past five years I've been documenting the Syrian refugee crisis.

Hey Sahara, it's Ramadan here in Sweden.

When you're coming, Sahara.

During that time I've got to know some extraordinary people who are now scattered around the world.

Over the next hour, in the first of two programs, you can get to know them too.

Hi Zahara, it's Hani here.

I'm really looking forward to your visit. I'm on holidays from

universities, so I'll be with my family. These are ordinary people who found

themselves in the most challenging situations imaginable, often choosing between life and death.

As you listen to their stories I'd like you to put yourself in their shoes.

Ask yourself, what would I have done? Alan Falls and the pop. Made me sunny in 26.

Saskatoon, partly cloudy 19 or China 24.

Rading in York.

22.
