Shaimaa Khalil joins some Afghan "ladies who lunch" in a well-fortified Kabul cafe for pizza, watermelon and talk of politics, security and wedding parties; Chris Simpson reflects on the historical and political education he's been given during conversations with Ethiopian exiles in Nairobi and in the migrant camp called the "jungle" in Calais; Datiane Navanayagam reveals how cocoa farmers from the indigenous Ngobe people in Panama are reaping rewards from their hard work on the crop; and Horatio Clare revels in the advertising-free cityscape of Grenoble, a French city which has banned the billboard.
