Loving the Alien
The faiths vying to claim sacred space in Jerusalem; complacency in Burkina Faso; German views of immigration; Cold War divides in Germany and Korea, and UFO-spotters in France .
There are tales of human encounters with the 'Other' - and maybe even other planets. Kevin Connolly traces the long histories of the faiths which vie to claim sacred spaces in Jerusalem.
Chris Simpson describes how Burkina Faso already seemed to him to be tiring of Blaise Compaore's regime in April 2014. Meanwhile, Jenny Hill explains why Germany is rolling out the wilkommen mat to immigrants from within - and outside - the EU.
Steve Evans explores striking parallels between his former posting in Germany and his current job in Korea - both countries once split in two. And, Chris Bockman meets France's state-funded team of UFO-sighting investigators - looking for the truth out there in the night skies.
