From Our Own Correspondent

Owen Bennett Jones introduces tales of shifting political, cultural and farming landscapes around the world. In Turkey, Mark Urban finds a rising tide of nationalism and some decidedly paranoiac views of the causes of the recent attempted coup. Karen Allen's been to the 21st International AIDS Conference in South Africa to get a global picture of the epidemic. She heard plenty of heartening ideas about new tactics for treatments and prevention - but also saw how a whole generation's been cut down. Mark Stratton travels through Australia's northernmost regions to meet people who are trying to make newly-conceded Aboriginal land rights meaningful, not just tokenistic. And Grace Livingstone joins in the tango and barbecue on Argentina's pampas grasslands - and hears how in this part of the world, beef is being edged out by genetically-modified soya.
