Synopsis
Katie Adie presents more despatches from foreign correspondents. As forces try to oust Gaddafi loyalists holding out in his home town of Sirte, our correspondent Alastair Leithead ponders the dilemmas of keeping the story in the news. In Pakistan the monsoon season has left thousands homeless once again - Aleem Maqbool travels through Sindh, one of the worst-affected provinces and find people feeling abandoned by their government and the world. We're up close and personal as Robin Irvine takes part in a wrestling match on the grasslands of Eastern Mongolia. In Beirut, appearances are everything - even when giving birth as Georgia Paterson-Dargham finds out. And in New England Julian May discovers why lobster fishing is apparently helping to increase the crustacean's numbers.
