Why aren't students revolting in Qatar and Oman? Robin Lustig's been touring the Gulf states to see what effect the uprisings in parts of the Arab world are having there. Justin Marozzi's in Libya as questions are being asked about who will run the country in the future. More journalists lost their lives this week in the fighting in Libya. Stuart Hughes, who himself was badly injured in an explosion in Iraq, reflects on the dangers a reporter can face covering conflict. Ethiopia is one of the least urbanised countries in the world; it's also a place which is losing its doctors - many of them are leaving the country in search of work elsewhere. Claudia Hammond's been talking to some of the young people there who've now been charged with taking healthcare out into the wide open spaces of the Ethiopian countryside. And why is it city dwellers in France are happy to live in apartments while their counterparts in the UK opt, where possible, for houses? Hugh Schofield in France wonders what this division tells us about the development of two neighbouring peoples.
