Hello and welcome to the History Hour Podcast from the BBC World Service with me Max Pearson and the team who each week bring us first-hand stories from the past.

This week, Kazakhstan in the early 1990s, just after independence, what would happen to the Soviet's vast

nuclear arsenal. This was already a time when there at least were some indications

that Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda and Taliban had some interest in nuclear materials.

Also 10 years on, what was it like on board the doomed Costa Concordia cruise ship?

And there are about 400 people trying to get up a single ladder.

Yes, there's a lot of shoving and pushing and shouting.

The first woman in the world to get silicone breast implants.

I had never thought about having anything like that done.

I was more concerned probably about getting my ears pinned back.

He even held face-to-face talks with Hitler.

Subas Chandrabos is little known outside India, overshadowed by Gandhi, but there are those who believe that if things had worked out differently,

he might have changed the course of Indian history. Among them is Maduribos, the great niece of the man himself, and she's been speaking to Claire Bowes.
