Pascale Harter introduces wit, analysis and reflection from correspondents and writers around the world. In this edition:

Katerina Vittozzi reports from Borno state in northeastern Nigeria, on the remarkable story of a teenage boy who escaped captivity in the hands of Boko Haram, the jihadi group whose armed attacks, abductions and killings have brought the region to the brink of famine.

Nick Redmayne's in Nicaragua, hearing that today's political leadership is decidedly more pragmatic than the Sandinista school he admired during the 1980s.

Emma Jane Kirby tracks down some of the originators of "fake news" circulated via social media - and believed to have affected the US Presidential election - and it turns out many of those writing the stories weren't journalists, but average teenagers in Macedonia.

And Stephen Evans explores the paradoxes of sexism in South Korea - a nation where on paper gender equality is supported at every level, but in reality oglers, gropers and abusers often get away with debasing women in public.
