Pascale Harter presents the pick of recent insight and analysis from BBC correspondents and writers around the world. In this week's edition: IAN PANNELL meets a member of the rebel Free Syrian Army who went from grilling kebabs in his restaurant to making bombs in his backyard; WILL ROSS witnesses the fear and division being sown in Jos, Nigeria, by recent Boko Haram attacks; SIMON WORRALL meets a remarkable tree: the clove plant called Afo in Tenate, Indonesia, which defied the once-mighty Dutch empire; NICK THORPE takes a slow boat up the Danube to learn why environmentalists are alarmed by Croatian and Serbian plans to straighten its course; DAMIEN McGUINNESS joins the tipsy, scantily-clad and greenery-bedecked celebrations of the summer solstice in Latvia; and JO FIDGEN explains what the Swedish welfare state could teach us all about love and responsibility.
