Drama: Red Lines

RADIO 4, 2.15PM Toby Stephens, Nicholas Boulton, Sarah Lawrie and Jon Culshaw head the cast of this political drama. It offers an insider’s view of the events of 2013, when US President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron failed to prevent Syria’s President Assad – an ally of Russia’s Vladimir Putin – from using chemical weapons. Writers Craig Oliver and Anthony Seldon argue this lack of action led to the current events in Ukraine.
