Kate Adie presents reports by BBC correspondents from Syria, Belarus, Senegal and Maine.

Kate Adie presents reports by BBC foreign correspondents about a school in Aleppo, mobile phones in Syria, the KGB of Belarus, football in Senegal and the summer camps of Maine.

Ian Pannell visits a school which has become a morgue for children in the Syrian city of Aleppo.

James Harkin meets a Syrian whose chosen weapon, in his battle against the Assad regime, is a mobile phone rather than a gun

John Sweeney's in Belarus. It's ruled, he says, by a regime so cocky it can't even be bothered to rebrand its secret police. They're still known as the KGB.

Senegal's become the latest African country to grow melons for Europe. Susie Emmett joins workers who find time to down tools and play a game of football.

And is it more Lord of the Flies or Swallows and Amazons? Laura Trevelyan travels to the state of Maine to investigate the phenomenon that is the US summer camp.
