Pascale Harter introduces correspondents’ dispatches from around the world.

Choosing a president in the shadow of the drug cartels was a violent new departure for Ecuador. Katy Watson puts on her body armour to interview one of the candidates hoping to lead the country.

Michael Bristow grabs his binoculars and peers over the Han River into North Korea to see what he can learn about the country that’s virtually sealed itself off from the rest of the world.

In South Africa, Andrew Harding packs his bags and reflects on his 15 years in the rainbow nation. A country he says is still at least partially hypnotised by its past glories.

And Graihagh Jackson travels to the Danish island of Bornholm, which wants to go carbon neutral by 2025 - but will it succeed?
