Our new monthly series explores the historical stories hitting the headlines \u2013 and the way in which the past informs today\u2019s world. In this episode, regular panellists Hannah Skoda and Rana Mitter are joined by Thomas Otte to discuss the history of long-running conflicts, and the factors that may help them come to an end. Plus, a brief history of political in-fighting, and a look at the lessons medieval hygiene might have for today\u2019s era of sewage spills.<\/p>\n\n
