It was an image so powerful that we don't want to use it here. But pictures of the dead body of three-year-old Alan Kurdi, washed up on a beach in Turkey, horrified public opinion around Europe - and galvanised politicians into action. Sometimes a single image can have more impact that thousands of words in print or hours of airtime. Also in this podcast: anti-corruption protests in Malaysia; why casinos in Macau are losing their sheen; the clash of old and new in India; why the Pope likes forgiveness; and nearly all the news from Russia in a minute (and a bit).
