BBC World Service - From Our Own Correspondent, Doing it His Way

Stories from America's industrial rustbelt, the India/Pakistan border, Mexico and the CAR

Trump's appeal to 'left behind' America; an Indian stationmaster keeps trains running to Pakistan; stuck in traffic with billionaire Carlos Slim; and a tribute to Chris Simpson

In Youngstown, Ohio, Gabriel Gatehouse considers the fate of the industries and towns which once built the USA, and why Donald Trump's programme has such appeal to them. 

As tensions between India and Pakistan rise over Kashmir, Melissa van der Klugt meets a stationmaster who is proud of his role in keeping trains, passengers and freight crossing the border between the two countries. 

Adam Shaw has an awkward time stuck in one of Mexico City's appalling traffic jams in the company of one of the world's richest men - communications billionaire Carlos Slim. 

And, we pay tribute to our late colleague Chris Simpson, a former BBC West Africa correspondent and one of our finest commentators on the continent, with a 2010 report from the Central African Republic.
