One of Africa's most influential Christian movements is now preaching the gospel in the US. We find out about its ambitious expansion plans. Plus, the former child-star Shirley Temple passed away this week. After retiring as an actress she had a brief career as a diplomat. A long-time Czech diplomat recalls her time as US ambassador to Prague. After that, we sample a kind of pastry - loved by Czechs - that has found its way to New York City by way of Texas. We meet Kayla Williams and Brian McGough. They were army sergeants deployed to Iraq when they met and fell in love. Their lives were forever changed when Brian narrowly survived an explosion. And, after the city of Glendale, Southern California, erected a statue recently it found itself embroiled in a dispute between Japan and Korea that dates back to the World War Two. Finally, we put to rest some myths about the classic Italian dish, spaghetti alla carbonara.
