From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

Insight, wit and analysis from BBC correspondents, journalists and writers from around the world, presented by Pascale Harter. In this edition: STEPHEN SACKUR witnesses the scale of the gang violence and impunity choking the life out of Honduras; RANA JAWAD analyses why Libyans didn't give much support for Islamist parties - and the force of the women's vote - in the recent election; THOMAS HUBERT describes how Kinshasa, his home in DR Congo for more than three years, is no city for the faint of heart; CRAIG JEFFREY traces the black-market trade in a bizarre fungus which is changing people's aspirations and earnings in the Indian Himalayas; snd JENNIFER PAK visits a huge swiftlet roost to see why Malaysia is starting to attach ID tags to birds' nests. (One hint: it has nothing to do with conservation.)
