Struggles for survival in South Sudan, at the UN, in Venezuela and Spain's Basque regions

Struggles for survival - of many kinds - from Uganda's border with South Sudan, the headquarters of the UN, the streets and banks of Venezuela and the hills of the Basque country

Pascale Harter introduces analysis, wit and commentary from journalists and writers around the world. In this edition:

Alastair Leithead reports from the border of Uganda and South Sudan on the thousands of refugees now streaming through the area, fleeing the ever more merciless civil war in South Sudan. The UN warned this week that there is "the potential for genocide" in the conflict. 
Alison Roberts weighs up the strengths - and weaknesses - of the man who'll soon have the whole world's problems landing on his desk: the new Secretary-General-elect of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, who was formerly Portugal's Prime Minister and the leader of its Socialist party. 
Gideon Long is on the streets of Venezuela, seeing how the country's people are dealing with its economic free-fall and runaway inflation.
And Maria Margaronis glories in the sounds and stories of the Basque language, talking to author Bernardo Atxaga about his local roots and global i
inspiration.
