From coca farmer to president, to political exile - Katy Watson shares the story of Evo Morales, Bolivia’s first elected indigenous leader. The protests in Hong Kong have settled into an ugly, predictable routine, but the level of violence has crept up. The prevailing fear, as Hong Kong draws closer to full Chinese rule, is that the territory will lose its freedoms and its autonomy. Paul Adams spoke to some Hong Kongers about their attitudes to mainland Chinese immigrants who are arriving in ever greater numbers. Beyond the barricades, a deeper gulf is opening up between the two communities. A collection of netsuke carvings including the hare with amber eyes, has just gone on display as a long-term loan at the Jewish Museum in Vienna.

And Julia Buckley confesses to a crime in Tinsel Town and has an unsettling experience with the LAPD Producer: Serena Tarling (Image: Former Bolivian President Evo Morales.
