Will Brazil impeach Dilma Rousseff? Plus: a radio soap opera for Syrians; the chief who's fostering new hope for girls in Malawi; and Germany's newly stay-at-home travellers

Pascale Harter introduces insights and analysis from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ correspondents, writers and reporters around the world. This week drama is the watchword, with contributions from:

Wyre Davies, putting the frenzy of calls for Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff to be impeached into context. Few other parliamentarians in the country have 'clean hands' either - and the dispute has reopened old social chasms in the country.

Emma Jane Kirby, with the multi-talented (and multi-tasking) journalists, actors and studio managers of Radio Alwan - a station based in Istanbul that's broadcasting a radio soap opera tapping straight into the experiences of its audience, who're mostly refugees from Syria;

Hannah McNeish, meeting a traditional chief with a difference in Malawi. Theresa Kachindamoto is a woman who's challenging many old practices which end girls' childhoods too early - and fighting abuse and exploitation of the vulnerable.

And Simon Calder, finding out how German travellers seem to have lost - or at least suspended - their wanderlust, and why they're increasingly choosing to holiday at home.
