Now that the Americans have been pushing the Israelis and Palestinians towards negotiating for a lasting peace, Nicholas Wade travels to Jerusalem on a fact-finding mission to understand the situation better. Only, he doesn't find facts as much as interpretations - and surprises.

In Sweden, on an island archipelago off the western coast, the locals have different issues to grapple with. How to stop the exodus of people moving to the mainland?

Steve Vickers took the ferry to go see how the permanent residents try and keep their community going.
