Syrian refugees turned child labourers in Jordan, the Saudis who want change on their own terms, rebel girl turned runner Mira Rai, and surviving Greenland's winter.

Andrew Hosken reports from Jordan on the Syrian refugees barely scratching a living - and sending their children out to work. Lyse Doucet finds that in Saudi Arabia, many people want change strictly on their own terms and say the Kingdom is misunderstood abroad. Chris Haslam hears the extraordinary life story of Mira Rai, from rebellious daughter to teenage Maoist fighter to distance running champion. And, Antonia Quirke is on the west coast of Greenland, learning local tricks for surviving the Arctic winter.
