Kate Adie presents stories from Libya, Ukraine, Australia and the US

Anna Foster visits the flood-affected region of Derna, in Libya's east, where she speaks to survivors of the storm surge after two dams collapsed in the hills above the city.

In the Russian-controlled areas of Donbass in Ukraine's east, Nick Sturdee hears from residents there who have lived through nearly a decade of fighting. In an area which is hard to reach for Western journalists, he gains an insight into how the conflict is seen and understood there.

Australians are poised to vote in a referendum in October which would create a formal body for its indigenous people to give advice on laws.
