Stories of risk and reward from Russia, India, Indonesia, the Galapagos and France

Insights into what buckwheat reveals about Russia's economy, caste and rape in India, an Indonesian ex-jihadi, the future of the Galapagos, and how to make an andouille sausage

Steve Rosenberg explains why buckwheat is so deeply rooted in Russia's psyche and what its price reveals about the country's economy. Razia Iqbal explores how rape and caste may be related in India. Michael Bristow meets a former jihadi in Jakarta who now warns others against extremism. Horatio Clare sees how wild life can be for humans on the Galapagos archipelago and Carolyn Brown plumbs the innards of a French delicacy not everyone enjoys - the andouille sausage, made from successive layers of pig intestine.
