The Arab Spring will go down as one of the turning points in history. Both Ahdaf Soueif and Jon Snow were at the epicentre: Ahdaf Soueif in her home town, participating in the revolution and bearing witness; Jon Snow reporting the dramatic events for Channel 4 News. They discuss the first momentous golden days and the ongoing process. Ahdaf Soueif is a novelist and journalist. Her new book Cairo: My City, Our Revolution, blends personal history and public events to chart the story of the uprising. Jon Snow is one of our most distinguished broadcasters.
