Max Pearson presents the pick of the week's insight, wit and analysis from BBC correspondents, journalists and writers from around the world. In this edition: WILL ROSS wades through the ecological and social mess of Nigeria's 'swamp full of dollars' - its oil-rich Niger Delta; RICHARD NIELD joins a firmly optimistic wheelchair basketball team at practice in Juba, South Sudan; PASCALE HARTER sees the Spanish town of Ciudad Real putting a brave face on its economic crisis; LINDA PRESSLY learns about the bizarre historical menage (the General, his wife ... and his ex-wife's embalmed corpse) kept up by the Perons of Argentina, while in exile in Spain; and MARK BOSWORTH glides across the dancefloor at a Finnish tango festival - and learns why this genre is so wildly popular in Finland.
