Clearing the Deadly Legacy of Libya's Revolution
Matthew Bannister speaks to Ali Abohajar: the man who clears unexploded weapons left behind after Libya's revolution
The Libyan city of Misrata was the scene of some of the bloodiest fighting during the revolution that toppled Colonel Gaddafi last year. A deadly legacy of unexploded shells, bombs and mines litter the city and the surrounding areas. Ali Abohajar has the highly dangerous job of removing them.
Also, the unlikely friendship between a Parisian cabaret dancer and a tribal chief from Papua New Guinea;
And the challenges of being a reporter in Pakistan's Swat Valley.
