Extraordinary personal stories from around the world.

Today, David Scheffer talks about the challenges he faced as America's first ambassador-at-large for war crimes issues. His book is called All The Missing Souls, published by Princeton University Press.

Also, the story of Boris, a young Ukrainian sent to an old people's home after being labelled 'incapacited', and Tatjana Makarova, one of those who helped him find freedom and a new life.

And in our Edible City series, how a Swede in London conjures up memories of childhood picnics.
