From Our Own Correspondent - 01/08/2009

Kate Adie introduces BBC foreign correspondents with the stories behind the headlines. Including valedictory despatches from two of the BBC's most senior correspondents. Justin Webb gives us his thoughts on America and Americans as he completes a near-eight year posting in Washington. And the question for Mark Mardell, as he leaves Brussels, is did he really find European politics so fascinating? Also, former Delhi correspondent Sam Miller sets out on a search for the Phantom Squirter of Connaught Place.
