BBC World Service - From Our Own Correspondent, Weekend edition: North Korea; Burkina Faso; Mexico; Syria and South Africa

Tantrums in Mexico, chinks in North Korea's border and DIY flycatching in Burkina Faso.

Choco Pies in North Korea; Burkina Faso's fly catchers; temper tantrums in Mexico; one boy's story of life in a Syrian refugee camp; and community justice in South Africa.

A certain gooey treat is proving to be the ultimate lure in North Korea; we meet Burkina Faso's human fly catchers; a story of bad behaviour among Mexico's upper classes; an unlikely tale about a superstar, a turtle and a Syrian refuge; and we travel to South Africa where meandering cattle land one villager in a lot of hot water!
