In an extended edition of Outlook, presenter Matthew Bannister talks to the former Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan.

He'll be reflecting on his life in international diplomacy - giving us some insights into his time as a rebellious schoolboy and a single father - and revealing the inside track on his face-to-face negotiations with some of the world's most notorious leaders, including the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
