Tomi Oladipo takes a frontline tour of the villages laid waste by Boko Haram, as the Nigerian army goes on a media charm offensive;
Jon Donnison gets a helicopter's eye view of the damage done to Vanuatu by Cyclone Pam, and meets its survivors;
Razia Iqbal is fascinated by the ancient city of Mohenjo Daro - but less than impressed by modern Pakistan's custodianship of the site;
and Nick Davis explains why Jamaican hearts are softening towards the island's dog population ... even the strays.
