In April a lorry was driven into a crowd of shoppers in Stockholm. Five people died, and the main suspect is 39 year old Rakhmat Akilov, an Uzbek national. Sweden was left in shock, and the country's Uzbek community too. BBC Uzbek's Ibrat Safo travelled to Sweden in search of answers. Silk Road stories It's full steam ahead for China's One Belt One Road transport route, a 21st century version of the ancient Silk Road. We travel back in time along those famous caravan routes. A tale of two flags National flags are usually symbols of national unity, but not in Venezuela. Protesters on the streets both for and against the government are all waving flags, but not the same one. BBC Mundo's Patricia Sulbaran explains. Gem TV assassination The killing in Istanbul of Saeed Karimian, founder of a satellite broadcasting empire Gem TV, was big news for BBC Persian. His channels beamed popular programmes into Iran, which made him unpopular in Tehran. His murder has sparked many rumours, but few answers. Jiyar Gol of BBC Persian was the man on the story in Istanbul when it broke.
