Hirsute History and Desert Verse

Kate Adie introduces hirsute history from Crimea and Ukraine, the rioting middle classes of Venezuela, desert broadband in the Emirates and the trash mobs of Goa.

Kate Adie introduces correspondents stories from around the world. Today, Jamie Coomarasamy meets the man who once was Crimea's one and only President and dreams of a new landscape; James Menendez goes to the city where month-long demonstrations started in Venezuela; Shahida Bari find camels, dogs, four by fours, twitter and verse in the deserts of the UAE; Rajan Datar is in Goa, trying his best to help pick up the rubbish; and Stephen Mulvey's memories of Ukrainian independence don't match President Putin's.
