Stories from correspondents around the world. This week Alan Johnston presents despatches from Colombia, Algeria, China, the United States and Chile.
The Colombian police think their war on drugs is finally taking a toll on the country's cartels; Frank Gardner joins them on patrol deep in the South American jungle. A Catholic Cathedral recently reopened in Algiers following five years of restoration; Chloe Arnold attends the first service and finds Christians and Muslims praying together. In Beijing, Peter Day meets the families squeezed out of their homes by the Chinese property bubble as landlords evict tenants to make way for developers. Jane O'Brien is used to scrutiny - her husband works for the FBI - but when she's interviewed for a background check in Washington, the questions quickly become uncomfortable. And Gideon Long looks back on an extraordinary year in Chile; how does the country see itself in its two-hundredth year of independence?
