In the first episode of our new video and podcast series, John Campbell looks at the hundreds of asylum seekers stuck at Australia’s detention centre in Nauru.
He speaks with 1News Pacific Correspondent Barbara Dreaver who was briefly detained by the tiny nation in September.
We talk to a Kiwi psychiatrist who paints a desperate picture from her 11 months on the island and also hear how the asylum seekers have thrown Nauru an economic lifeline.
In this weekly series, John Campbell goes behind the stories which are making the news. The series is also available as a podcast on iTunes and Soundcloud - search for "The Story with John Campbell" - and on the 1 News Facebook and Youtube pages.
