Pascale Harter introduces stories of confrontation - and reconciliation - from around the world. In this edition: Six years after Muammar Gaddafi was ousted, Libya has three rival governments, countless militias roaming the streets, and growing levels of insecurity. In the capital Tripoli, Tom Stevenson talked to several of the men who are in charge - or ought to be - about the nation's future. The war at home - and how to overcome it through work: Sodaba Haidare visits a pioneering restaurant in Kabul, Afghanistan, which is run by survivors of domestic violence and aims to empower others. Last weekend's election in Ecuador was a confusing process for Joe Gerlach, who observed what he could of the results while stuck in transit flying out of the country to New York. How to make sense of "electoral alchemy" which led to both candidates being briefly declared winner? And on a visit to Seville, Antonia Quirke considers modern Spain's ambivalence about bullfighting. More and more young people now feel it's cruel; but this year the bull rings will still fill up with spectators there to admire the drama and the artistry.
