Bright hijabs, bold makeup and colourful art - life after IS in Iraq's second city.

Bright hijabs, bold makeup and colourful art - life after IS in Iraq's second city. Kate Adie introduces this and other stories from correspondents around the world.

What life after IS looks like for the residents of Iraq's second city - bright hijabs, bold makeup and striking works of art. "Colour has become their way of saying ‘we’ve taken our lives and our city back’" says Shaimaa Khalil.

Kate Adie introduces this and other stories from correspondents around the world:

Orla Guerin finds out what happened to the two sick children she met in Yemen last year. Six months on, were they able to leave the war-torn country to get the medical care they so desperately needed? 

Amelia Martyn-Hemphill meets the mums in Madagascar trying to save others from a taboo condition and encourage them to seek treatment for obstetric fistula rather than suffer in silence. 

John Murphy is in Germany where he meets a woman with clawed feet, horns and yellow eyes  - he's at computer gaming exhibition in Leipzig.  

And Stephanie Hegarty  hears how the harsh climate of the Mongolian steppe  is forcing more and more people to move to the overcrowded capital  Ulaanbaatar – already one of the world’s most populated cities.
