Owen Bennett Jones introduces the pick of recent insight and analysis from BBC correspondents around the world. In this edition:


Fergal Keane asks how political change might beat back poverty in Burma;

Nick Thorpe asks "Europe's new bogeyman", Hungarian PM Viktor Orban, why he's sticking to the country's new constitution;

Michael Bristow rides the tourist wave flooding into China's Yunnan province;

Libby Spurrier hears the laments of Egypt's under-employed guides around Luxor; 

Krupa Padhy finds the gleaming surfaces of Gurgaon near Delhi conceal social divides - and dodgy plumbing;

Nidhi Dutt survives an all-too-close brush with sexual harassment or 'eve teasing' in Mumbai;

and Stephen Sackur goes into a laboratory to explore the "science of deliciousness" in Copenhagen.
