Rebecca Kesby introduces stories of everyday life - and everyday dilemmas - from around the world. Edmund Bower reveals why Twitter in Egypt is so saturated with desperate appeals to "please share" accounts of arbitrary arrest and detention. Elinor Goodman is in St James Parish, Jamaica, hearing why a local State of Emergency might not get to the root of gang crime in the area. Vincent Ni visits a school for Korean pupils in Japan - and ends up hearing far more of the Pyongyang party line than he expected. And Lizzie Porter explains the reasons that the countryside of Bosnia-Herzegovina - territory once fought over bitterly during the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s - is now increasingly deserted.
