Kate Adie introduces correspondents' dispatches from South Sudan, from the air war over Ukraine, a troubled area of Chicago, a small island off Western Australia and Sweden's capital, Stockholm.

The conflict in Sudan which began in April continues to tear its capital city, Khartoum, apart. Hundreds have been killed and more than a million people have fled their homes.

But just how will these jets help? Our correspondent Abdujalil Abdurasulov talked to two Ukrainian fighter pilots.

Chicago has a new mayor. At his swearing-in, Brandon Johnson - a former teacher and union organiser - spoke proudly of his humble beginnings in one of the most violent neighbourhoods in the Americas.

Visitors to Western Australia's Rottnest Island have only recently begun to discover the island's hidden, tragic past.
