Myanmar's drug vigilantes, on the front-line in Mosul, and the mystical music of Morocco. Kate Adie introduces correspondents' stories from around the world.

As Iraqi soldiers retook control of Mosul, Cathy Otten was there to see what impact three years of the so-called Islamic State has left on the city. In the 35 years since the Falklands War, the Islands' population has almost doubled and on his recent trip there Matthew Teller overheard some surprising accents. In Japan, Simon Parker discovers that Tsukiji, the world's biggest fish market, offers a welcome distraction from jet-lag. And in Morocco, Richard Hamilton whirls and twirls to the ancient trance music of Jajouka. Producer: Joe Kent.
