Alan Johnston with insight and analysis from BBC correspondents in Poland and Egypt

Alan Johnston with insight from correspondents around the world. Nick Beake visits the Polish home of a victim of London's 7/7 bombings and Ibrat Jumaboyev hears the hopes and fears of Egypt's youth.

Alan Johnston presents insight, wit and analysis from BBC correspondents around the world. In this edition Nick Beake in Poland and Ibrat Jumaboyev in Egypt.

"We are nothing if we do not forgive"
London attracts people from all around the world. They share in its triumphs and its disasters. When suicide bombers struck on the 7 of July 2005, there were citizens of Pakistan, Vietnam, Turkey and other nations among the dead. 

One of them was a young woman called Monica Suchocka. Nick Beake witnessed the pain that her death in London caused in the tiny rural community where she grew up, in northern Poland.

Hopes and hassle in Sharm el Sheikh
It's probably still far too early to assess the recent, revolutionary upheaval in Egypt. It might be many months before we understand all its implications. Ibrat Jumaboyev has been talking to young Egyptians in one resort area who feel that the ousting of President Mubarak wasn't enough. They think plenty still needs to change, if their prospects are to improve.
