Kate Adie hosts despatches from Paris, Beirut, Islamabad, Antarctica and India.

A very French murder story: Hugh Schofield tells how France has been transfixed by an appalling human drama - the killing of a mother, three sons and a daughter. Owen Bennett Jones questions whether depicting the news from Syria as 'brutal suppression of peaceful protestors' might be, to some extent, misleading. A climate of fear is stifling discussion about Pakistan's controversial blasphemy laws - that's the contention of the BBC's Jill McGivering, who's been touring the country investigating. Richard Wilson makes a return trip to Antarctica and is shocked at recent developments there. Gareth Armstrong visits an Indian classroom and hears the students voice outrage at how the British regard the work of the children's author Enid Blyton.
