Zimbabwe and Egypt

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

Pascale Harter introduces personal insights, stories and analysis from BBC correspondents and writers around the world. In this edition, Andrew Harding tests the mood around Harare and finds many Zimbabweans are still tightlipped about Robert Mugabe and ZANU-PF. The country has recently been voting on a new constitution, but could the document really change its climate of fear? In Cairo and Asyut, Louisa Loveluck investigates why Egyptian railways are so dangerous. There are over 550 train crashes a year, causing many deaths and injuries - so what's the government of President Morsi doing to make transport safer?
