Tony Grant introduces insight, wit and analysis from correspondents around the world. Today, reports from Jonathan Head in Turkey and Daniel Schweimler in Argentina.

The Turkish prime minister Recep Erdogan is back home after a Middle East tour designed, it seems, to increase his country's influence in a region swept by revolts and uprisings. Jonathan Head tells us why the Turkish premier received such a warm welcome in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya.

Argentina may have one of the biggest, most technologically advanced economies in Latin America, but in this vast country there still exist some remote corners - far from the capital Buenos Aires - hardly touched by the modern world. Daniel Schweimler's just been to one such place, a tiny village called San Juan, far away in the mountains of the north-west.
