Pascale Harter introduces stories about war, mixed messages and communities from writers around the world.

The 麻豆社's Justin Rowlatt has returned after spending almost two weeks with the American forces in Kandahar, Afghanistan. This base is now the home to almost a third of US Air Force drones. These so-called reapers bring death from above and almost turn killing into a video game but are their use in such numbers justifiable?

Stephanie Heggarty visited Dapchi directly after the mass kidnapping of 110 school girls by Boko Haram. Most of the children have now been returned but questions still remain about how this incident - which has striking similarities with the 2014 mass abduction of girls in Chibok, was allowed to happen.

In Greece we walk through a district notorious for its anarchist inhabitants, but there is now a new group of people living among the squatters. Sally Howard meets asylum seekers who have escaped the squalid conditions and violence of refugee camps and are making their home in buildings falling into disrepair due to economic crisis.

And finally, Peter Blake revisits the British Virgin Islands six months after the devastation of Hurricane Irma and witnesses first-hand the struggles facing the community as they try to make their Islands open for business.
