BBC World Service - From Our Own Correspondent, Climates of Fear

Human stories and political analysis from Bangladesh, Austria, the US and Jordan

As death stalks Dhaka, fear battles complacency in Bangladesh; Austria's far-right cornflower blues; a frightening school rehearsal in NYC;  some Syrians cook up success in Jordan

Pascale Harter introduces tales of bravery, intimidation, worry and durability from around BBC correspondents and writers around the world. In this edition:

Sanjoy Majumder asks what's really inciting a string of recent killings in Bangladesh, and meets threatened bloggers, worried security analysis and unruffled officials in Dhaka

Bethany Bell explores the fears of the Austrian electorate - and explains why there's been so much controversy over the far-right Freedom Party's choice to wear bright blue cornflowers

John Mervin is brought up short by his 5-year old daughter's account of a "lockdown" at school in New York City - though fortunately this was just a rehearsal of what to do in case of a gun attack

and Amy Guttman reveals what Syrian refugees are bringing to the table in Jordan: a good deal of business acumen as well as some of the most delicious cooking in the region.
