Pascale Harter introduces dispatches from BBC correspondents and writers around the world. In this edition: Mark Lowen speaks to Syrians and Afghans about their response to Turkey's deal with the EU on migration; Celia Hammond discovers how an anti-corruption drive in China's ruling party has driven luxury underground or out of sight; Will Grant explains why going to Havana's Jose Marti airport is a big deal for many Cuban families, and Kieran Cooke endures a hair-raising but educative road trip through Myanmar to the city of Mandalay.
