Owen Bennett Jones introduces stories from Somalia, China, Russia and the USA.

Alastair Leithead's on patrol with the new police and security forces in the southern region of Jubaland in Somalia. Once a synonym for a failed state, Somalia is trying to rebuild itself, with a "negotiated democracy" to choose its government and a new military set-up. Will they be able to beat back the armed threat from the al Shabaab group?

After all the things that President-elect Donald Trump has said about China as he campaigned in the USA, what have the Chinese public made of him and the electoral show so far? Celia Hatton asked around - and the response wasn't positive.

Around a fifth of Russians tell pollsters that they don't believe anything on the TV news is true - but they still watch the bulletins avidly. Gabriel Gatehouse explores how far the media are the message in Russia today.

And Christine Finn leaves the electoral cycle behind for the life cycle, joining the hordes of 'leaf peepers' who converge on Vermont, in the northeastern United States, to soak in its brilliant displays of natural autumn colour.
