Sweet nostalgia - Yesterday's Greece and French chocolate

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

Despatches from correspondents across the globe, introduced by Kate Adie. Will Ross describes the terror in Northern Nigeria as Boko Haram fights for an Islamic state, while the heavy-handed response of the security forces only inflames the conflict. Censorship, fear and fascism - Theopi Skarlatos tells us why Golden Dawn is becoming Greece's worst nightmare as she laments the vanishing of the Athens of her childhood. Shambolic India: business may be booming but Anu Anand is frustrated by frequent power cuts, broken toilets and burst balloons. Dave Edmonds explains why so many are happy to donate billions to Princeton in New Jersey, one of the world's richest universities. And Joanna Robertson on why the sweet-toothed French president reminds some of a small chocolate-covered bear. Producer: Lucy Ash.
