Stories of young people's dreams and fears in Ukraine, Togo, Pakistan and Gaza

Global stories of the next generation's dreams and fears, with scenes from a far-right camp in Ukraine, villages in Togo, Karachi's mean streets and a tiny oasis of calm in Gaza.

Pascale Harter introduces stories from around the world reflecting the dreams and fears of young people. Gabriel Gatehouse hears why the Right Sector movement is gaining ground in Ukraine, even though some find it uncomfortably close to fascist movements of the past. Jane Labous listens to a repentant former child-trafficker in Togo explain why underage labour is still so common in the region. Alex Preston visits a drug-rehab centre in Karachi trying to help some of Pakistan's most vulnerable street kids. And, Marie Keyworth has a tale of three stolen kisses and an oasis of calm, amid the turmoil of Gaza City.
