BBC World Service - Outlook, Reporting from Mali

The journalist who risked his life by travelling to the Islamist-controlled North of Mali

Paul Mben is a journalist who risked his life by travelling to the Islamist-controlled North of Mali to report on the effect Sharia law is having on local people. 

Matthew also talks to Refilwe Modiselle, a 26-year-old from South Africa who was born with albinism, a condition characterised by a complete lack of pigment in the skin and hair. She is challenging the prejudice often held against people with this condition by becoming a successful fashion model. 

And we go in search of jaguars in the wetlands of Western Brazil with a former farmworker turned conservationist.
