Nabeel Rajab - President of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights

A year ago revolution was in the air in the Gulf Kingdom of Bahrain - what about now?

After months of violence which killed dozens of protestors, the Bahraini king commissioned an independent inquiry - then he promised to implement sweeping reforms.

Stephen Sackur speaks to Nabeel Rajab - one of Bahrain's most outspoken human rights activists.

Has this strategically vital Gulf monarchy successfully reformed itself from within?

Olli Rehn - European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs

Sarah Montague is in Brussels to talk to the man with the unenviable job of finding a way out of Europe's financial crisis. He is Olli Rehn, Europe's Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs. It's nearly two years since the Greek crisis first blew up; and in that time seven heads of Eurozone governments have been replaced; there have been at least 15 European summits; and any number of plans; and yet, Greece is still on the verge of defaulting and the German Chancellor Angela Merkel has warned this coming year will "undoubtedly" be harder than the last. What has been achieved and are we any closer to resolving the crisis?(Image: European Union Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn. Credit: Reuters)

Dr Devi Shetty - Indian heart surgeon

Stephen Sackur speaks to a brilliant heart surgeon - veteran of more than 30,000 operations - but his growing international reputation rests less on his medical skill, more on his business brain.

He's building what he calls medical cities across India and beyond - but can this vision of delivering a public good for private profit really change healthcare around the world?
