You Have To Make a Plan
Lopez Obrador's big promises to Mexico; daily life in Zimbabwe after Mugabe; Pakistani wedding finery from a Karachi tailor and a smouldering row over smoking in Austria's cafes
Rebecca Kesby introduces dispatches from reporters and writers around the world. In this edition:
Will Grant goes on the campaign trail as Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador - better known by his initials, AMLO - takes another run for the Mexican Presidency. Is this finally his moment?
Kim Chakanetsa revisits Harare, to find out how Zimbabweans are dealing with daily life and how much has changed six months after the removal of Robert Mugabe.
Mobeen Azhar takes us to the finest tailors in Karachi - to order some Pakistani wedding clothes, made to measure to traditional designs. But many of the city's richer residents prefer "living in Tupperware" - that is, staying more isolated from the hustle and bustle of Zainab Market.
And Bethany Bell reports from Vienna's cafes, on why generally law-abiding Austrians are so slow to comply with European anti-tobacco regulations. Whatever the staff might say, customers here still expect to be allowed to spark up at table.
