Colouring in the gaps between the headlines.

The BBC's foreign correspondents around the world tell their stories and examine developments in their region, including stories from Bahrain, India, France, Germany and Kenya.

Bahrain: Rupert Wingfield Hayes examines why all sides in the bitter conflict there feel the controversy surrounding this weekend's Grand Prix can work in their favour.

France: It's an election which lacks a feel-good factor. Perhaps, Chris Morris feels, that's why all the campaigners are looking back, at a vision of a romantic, glorious French past.

Kenya: Mary Harper's in a huge refugee camp, run on international money, and contrasts life there with that in an impoverished village not far away.

India: His mother warned him against walking on ice, but Paul Howard finds it's the only way to visit a remote community high in the Himalayas.

Germany: Great excitement at the start of the white asparagus season. Steve Evans finds the vegetable dominating menus and conversation. But surely it's not an aphrodisiac?

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
