Frost over the World - Dahir Gelle, Somalia's information minister

Somalia has not had a functioning central government for 19 years and the Islamist rebel group al-Shabab now controls large swathes of the country and is threatening Mogadishu, the capital. In the midst of this internal conflict, Somali pirates continue to prey on international shipping. Dahir Gelle, the country's information minister, tells Sir David what the transitional federal government is doing to fight the insurgents. Plus, German historian Heike Goertemaker challenges the commonly held view amongst historians that Eva Braun, the mistress and eventually the wife of Adolf Hitler, was an insignificant figure, bypassed by and unaware of the horrors of the Third Reich. She joins the show to discuss her book, 'Eva Braun - Life with Hitler'.
