Pascale Harter introduces dispatches from correspondents and writers around the world.

High in the mountains of Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan region, Shahzeb Jillani reports on a recent spate of attacks on school buildings. Luckily no-one was hurt - but still, parents and the general public now seem to be losing patience with the militants targeting education, especially girls' education.

Olivia Acland reports from the eastern region of D R Congo where health workers are trying to contain an outbreak of Ebola - but organising an emergency response is no easy matter in territory beset by armed militias and where transport is a challenge.

Matt Pickles is in Oslo, to learn more about the process of shortlisting, reviewing, and finally choosing laureates of the Nobel Peace Prize. It turns out that while weighing up some of the world's most controversial figures, a sense of humour can help in reaching consensus.

And Elizabeth Gowing picks up some revealing details about Albania's fashion trade - and how it's helped many female workers and entrepreneurs build their dreams - in the city of Shkodra, where an astonishing 16 million garments a year are made up.
