The strangers who saved each other’s lives

 With an anonymous stem-cell donation, Marius Werner saved a British doctor's life - and, the young German says, it may have saved him too, giving him purpose when he had felt suicidal. 
 With a rare type of blood cancer, Dr Nick Embleton's only hope was a bone marrow transplant. 
 And unable to find a match in the UK, the search was extended worldwide. 
 Two years on, BBC News and charity Anthony Nolan help two "blood brothers" find each other for the first time.
