India has a huge unemployment problem. Anu Anand takes a look at some of the jobs - such as ear-cleaning, pushing buttons in lifts and road sweeping with brooms - people do to make a living. Following the EU elections which saw an increase in the number of nationalist MEP across the continent, John Kampfner visits Aachen, a town at the historical centre of a unified Europe... under Charlemagne. In South Africa, the Bo-Kaap neighbourhood of Cape Town, with its cobbled streets and colourful houses, has become one of the country's must-see tourist destinations - and property there has become pricey. Ione Wells looks at the downside of gentrification. Only about 75,000 people in Estonia still speak the Voro language. Simon Broughton meets some of those trying to ensure it has a universal and lasting appeal. And Christine Finn finds herself, unexpectedly, on a mini-break: but not where she intended. What is it like to spend almost a week in Singapore's Changi Airport?
