Personal stories behind the news from all over the world. With Jonathan Charles. South Africa's white squatters; new face for a new job; Aerosol Arabic. Poor and white in South Arica. Angry, poor and white - we meet the South Africans who are living in shanty towns and feel just as let down as the country's impoverished black citizens. New face for a new job. The jobs market couldn't be tougher in the global recession - but, would you be willing to have cosmetic surgery on your face to improve your chances of finding work? We hear from one American man who did just that. Graffiti artist - Mohammed Ali. And graffiti with a difference - a British muslim artist who spray paints walls in Arabic, tells presenter Jonathan Charles why he wants to combine Islam with urban edginess.
