Pascale Harter introduces stories of destruction and rebirth from correspondents and reporters around the world. As the UN, international aid agencies and even the US House of Representatives issue ever-louder criticism of how Saudi Arabia is conducting its war against Houthi rebels in Yemen, Clive Myrie has seen how civilians in Aden and Taizz are suffering. Theopi Skarlatos sits in on the tough talk at a widows' club in Kenya - and hears why some of these women are now daring to reject a customary sexual 'cleansing' that risks their health. Caroline Bayley visits Russia's largest strawberry farm, to find out why it's now raising a far more profitable crop of new housing. And Justin Rowlatt describes the melancholy last years of Prince Cyrus, an Indian aristocrat so rarefied he thought the Mughal dynasty "as common as dirt" - but who ended up as a lonely recluse in a Delhi hunting lodge himself.
