Meeting survivors and family of the school massacre in Peshawar

Meeting survivors and family of the school massacre in Peshawar, and other insights from BBC correspondents.

Shaimaa Khalil in Pakistan meets relatives and survivors of the army school massacre in Peshawar, on the day the school reopens. Ruth Sherlock in Lebanon finds that while the Syrian refugees struggle in the snow, their Lebanese hosts struggle economically. And, Caroline Wyatt becomes one of the VAMPS (Vatican Accredited Media Personnel) and flies to Sri Lanka with the Pope. 

Martin Fletcher joins a Vietnamese conservationist who is trying to save the world’s only scaly mammal from extinction - the cute but hunted pangolin. Plus, Aidan O’Donnell meets the cash-strapped Burundian national cycling team as they prepare to cycle home - from Rwanda - after competing in an already-exhausting race.
