Synopsis
Twenty-six planeloads of Libyans arriving at Amman airport. It's an unexpected consequence of the Libyan revolution and, as Matthew Teller in Amman tells us, it means a tremendous boost for the Jordanian economy. Pauline Davies learns what's meant by marriage Papua New Guinea-style at the nuptials there of her niece, apparently a four-pig bride. Aidan Lewis finds himself the subject of police scrutiny as he explores the troubled relations between Morocco and Western Sahara. Mark Tully's finding out if the residents of Delhi really do resent the fact that their city was created as the capital of the British Raj and Allan Little's been meeting some of those behind the creation of the European single currency. He poses the question: what on earth's gone wrong?
