Insights into the diplomatic dance of Iranian nuclear talks, transphobic violence in Brazil, the oilfields of Texas, fighting FGM in Tanzania, and a train through China's far west.

Jim Muir recalls many years of covering diplomatic talks on Iran's nuclear programme - and how we got where we are now. Donna Bowater examines why despite its sensuous, anything-goes image, Brazil has a serious problem of transphobic violence.

Jon Sopel meets the oilmen of West Texas as they frack for fuel - and hears what impact a fall in the oil price as on them. Linda Pressly visits a haven for Tanzanian girls fleeing FGM, and hears why some men are volunteering to help them. And, David Baillie takes a train trip through China's far north-west, from Urumqi to Shanshan, on one of the country's most modern routes - at 300 kilometres an hour!
