Cheese pies and jihadi brides
Hospitality in the Caucasus with the families of Russians returning from IS duty in Syria. But do they regret joining up in the first place?
Sarah Rainsford experiences hospitality in the Caucasus with the families of Russians returning from IS duty in Syria. But do they regret joining up in the first place? Diana Darke travels to Baalbek in Lebanon - the next best thing for those who miss travelling in Syria - and visits the hotel that's trying to recreate past glories; Lucy Ash meets those threshing hemp in Hungary for less than half the minimum wage to make socks for the Swiss; Oliver Basciano finds out about living with leprosy in a quiet corner of Romania; and William Atkins experiences the vicious flora of a former French penal colony in the South Pacific.
