The Rohingya Running for Their Lives

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

Kate Adie introduces correspondents' stories and analysis from around the world - including from the Bangladeshi border, where we meet the Rohingya fleeing violence in Myanmar. Sanjoy Majumder is on the banks of the Naf River as families arrive by the boatload trying to escape Rakhine state. In Uganda, Ruth Alexander finds out what it's like to try and build a home and a new life in the country often applauded for its generous policy towards refugees. In Germany, Damien McGuiness meets the "elite hipsters" of Berlin living in a parallel, English-speaking society. In Russia, Martin Vennard joins the back to school celebrations on the Day of Knowledge. And in Colombia, Mark Rickards witnesses an extraordinary race around the country and explores how cycling is helping to bring together a once divided nation. Producer: Joe Kent.
