As the Trump administration presses Mexico's government to "do more" to stop Central American migrants from reaching the USA, Will Grant went far south to Chiapas state, on Mexico's border with Guatemala, to see how the scene on the ground is changing.

Amy Guttman senses a newly feminist flavour in some Japanese workplaces - from haute cuisine restaurants to building sites - where women are working in ever greater numbers, and ever more senior roles. But has PM Shinzo Abe's call for "Womenomics" really changed the game?

It's 30 years since Poland held its first even partially-free elections after WW!!, and back in 1989 Kevin Connolly was in Warsaw, reporting the story as it happened. Remembering the rattle of the telex machine and the dreary dinners, he looks back and wonders why it seems so much longer ago.
