Tales from the EU leaders' summit; Nigerian demolitions; the Hajj; a St Louis tech fair

Stories of leadership: as EU heads meet in Bratislava, is the UK's absence noticed? Plus: Nigeria's summary demolitions, a war of words over the Hajj and a tech fair in St Louis

Owen Bennett Jones introduces tales of leadership and loss from around the world. In this edition: what shape will the EU take after Brexit - and will the UK be missed? Kevin Connolly ponders some lessons from history in Bratislava, where the idea of Europe is still held dear. In bustling Lagos, Stephanie Hegarty stumbles upon a land dispute laying bare some enduring problems with Nigerian state government. This year's hajj was free of major disaster, but it did exhibit how bad diplomatic relations are between Saudi Arabia and Iran at the moment - and Sebastian Usher explains why. And how do you convince the brightest kids in school to aim for a future in science and technology? Adam Shaw visits a 'geek fest' in St Louis whose flair hopes to get them thinking.
