ALI MUSE Ali Muse runs a dedicated team of ambulance drivers who dodge bullets and rockets, and navigate checkpoints to get the injured to hospital in one of the world's most dangerous cities, Mogadishu. Thousands of people were killed in fighting there last year and Ali tells Outlook why his crew put their own lives on the line to save victims of the violence. PAPA Outlook reporter Jo Keown travels to the southern Chinese town of Yangshuo to meet Grandmaster Gao Yen Tao, or Papa as he's known, at his martial arts studio. The 84 year old has won international acclaim for his skills and we find out that despite his age, the king of the cartwheels is still fit and training hard. IGNACIO GUANI Photographer Ignacio Guani tells us about the pictures he's taken as he paraglides high in the sky above Uruguay. He describes what it's like to see his country from a different perspective.
