Stories of how wars begin - and how they can be ended - from around the world, introduced by Pascale Harter. In this edition: Stephen Sackur weighs up whether a peace deal signed in Havana this week can really improve life for Colombians traumatised by decades of war between the state, guerrilla groups and paramilitaries; Mark Urban considers if there are ANY prospects for ending Syria's civil war by diplomatic means - and what might conceivably drag the interested parties to a negotiating table, never mind a political settlement; Humphrey Hawksley meets the Vietnamese fishermen coming up against the blunt end of Chinese claims to the waters of the South China Sea; and Nick Thorpe reports on new developments in the ongoing hunt for the spot where the heart of Ottoman emperor Suleiman the Magnificent was buried, back in 1566, at the height of his campaign to crush the Hungarian Empire of the era.
