Two years ago the world watched in horror as hundreds of thousands of Rohingya people were driven out of Myanmar by targeted violence from the state and their neighbours. Most found refuge in Bangladesh - and despite Myanmar's supposed efforts to bring them back to newly-built 'resettlement camps', almost none of them have returned so far. Jonathan Head recently got rare access to Rakhine state and found little in the camps that offers any welcome - and a trail of destroyed and all-but-erased former Rohingya villages.

Bangladesh may also soon be having to provide shelter for people thrown out by another neighbouring country: India. In Assam state there's been tension for many decades over alleged 'illegal' migration by Bengali-speaking outsiders, and some local Assamese argue their culture's under threat. Recently the state government updated its list of legitimate Indian resident citizens - and that's left more than 1.8m people off the register. Rajini Vaidyanathan reports from one of the detention centres now being built, where they might end up.

The war in Yemen has ground on for five years now - and the toll it has taken on civilians, particularly children, has been brutal. Nawal al Maghafi reveals how hard it has been for her to report on the conflict in her homeland - not just as a journalist, but as a daughter, and as someone who remembers the country's past glories and fears the next generation will never know them.

And if you've ever stopped to wonder just how Amazon managed to become the home-retail giant it is, there's an inside look at one of its delivery depots (though they prefer the term "fulfillment centers") near San Francisco. 麻豆社 Technology reporter Dave Lee recently took a highly-choreographed tour of its operations and wondered at the second-by-second control of every move.
