Pascale Harter introduces reportage, analysis and wit from correspondents around the world.

Katy Watson in Sao Paulo explores the divisions within President Bolsonaro's government - and what they mean for Brazilians. It's been a bumpy first few months for the President, and now there are questions over what the military faction in his Cabinet will be pressing for.

Neil Kisserli shares his impressions from the protests which have filled Algeria's streets every Friday for months - and hears of the frustration, boredom and hunger for change which are driving them.

The Sudanese capital Khartoum's also been taken over by 'people power' and huge demonstrations, which led to the removal of a president - and Zeinab Badawi explains why women have been at the forefront of the movement.
