Extraordinary personal stories from around the world. Today, the daughter of Ghulam Haider Hamidi - the mayor of Kandahar who was killed by a suicide bomber last month - describes how her father had returned to Kandahar from the US in the hope of serving his country. Also in the programme, Nigeria's first female mechanic, Sandra Aguebor-Ekperuoh, tells us why she's determined to empower other women in her country. And Rodney Fox, the Australian who was nearly killed by a shark, tells us why he's devoted his life to understanding them.
