Pascale Harter introduces correspondents' dispatches from Libya, Australia and the United States.

After two dams breached following Storm Daniel, a wall of water smashed through the eastern Libyan city of Derna. Now grief and anger are everywhere. Anna Foster reports from the city on survivors' enduring questions - and growing demands.

Australia will vote on the 14th of October on whether or not to enshrine an "Indigenous Voice to Parliament" in its Constitution. At one point the result looked like a foregone conclusion - but the campaign for a 'Yes' vote may not have won over a majority. Nick Bryant analyses how and why public opinion has changed.

And in New York City, Maryam Ahmed reveals how an invasive insect has united the city's often-fractious humans - in a concerted campaign to smash, squash, stomp or stamp it out. Why is the spotted lanternfly seen as such a menace?
