Human stories from behind the global headlines. With George Arney.

On today's programme: Tortured in an Argentinian jail - the 30 year search for justice; blind from birth but a passionate football fan; and the Syrian architect restoring the ancient city of Aleppo.

Perico Rodriguez spent three years in an Argentinian prison being abused and tortured. He was released almost 30 years ago but his tormentors are only now being tried. He told Outlook about his time in jail and the long wait for justice.

Peter White is the BBC's Disability correspondent and has been blind since birth. But despite not being able to see the players on the pitch, his passion is going to live matches featuring his beloved Southampton Football club. 

Adli Qudsi is a Syrian architect who's been credited with revitalising the ancient city of Aleppo. He tells Outlook why a planned one year stay in his home city turned into a 35 year labour of love.
