Lech Walesa was once a heroic figure in Poland when he fought against communist oppression as leader of Solidarity. But now as President of democratic Poland he is widely criticised for being out of touch and out of his depth. Tim Sebastian presents an intimate portrait of the man who was once Eastern Europe's leading revolutionary. Jane Standley, the BBC's East Africa correspondent, goes on the first flight to Mogadishu in Somalia since the United Nations pulled out and finds a city where there's an uneasy and fragile peace between rival militias. But there are signs of hope for the future - people are beginning to swim again at what were beach resorts, and she meets a boxing trainer trying to channel the aggression of former gunmen. Plus the decline of the flying Finns - Adam Mynott meets one of Finland's most famous runners, Lasse Viren, and reports from Helsinki on why long-distance running has gone out of fashion. And Brian Hanrahan reports from Argentina, where people are starting to find out what happened to the 15,000 citizens who disappeared in the dirty war of the 70s and 80s.
