'Living in Limbo'
No-one is more marginalized in the UK than asylum seekers who have not had their applications accepted, but not been asked to go - sometimes for as long as eight years. Collen thinks his four years of asylum claims and appeals may be at an end, but is too frightened to return to Zimbabwe.
Thomas, from Eritrea, doesn't know yet if he can stay in the UK after originally claiming asylum as a teenager seven years ago. Jenny Cuffe investigates the impact of this long wait on their lives.
This BBC programme is part of the international exchange series Global Perspective 2010.

Running for office: Zarghuna Kakar wanted to make life better for girls and women in Kandahar, so she ran for office. After she got elected, the Taliban shot her and her husband, who died. She survived three more attempts on her life before fleeing the city. She tells Jonathan why she's still in politics and still optimistic about her country's future.
"Behind the mask": Norwegian journalist Paul Refsdal embedded himself with the Taliban as they carried out military operations. He tells Jonathan how he wanted to counter received media images and put a human face on them. Jonathan asks him: why?

Africa needs more nurses. That's Dorothy Ngombe's message at home and abroad. An experienced nurse and midwife herself, she's been looking for ways to keep the qualified nurses the continent needs at home.

'Feet First'
In August 2009, an arsonist started a fire that burned more than 160,000 acres in the mountains around Los Angeles County. The mountains have long been home to pockets of residents, but in recent decades neighbourhoods have boomed with large housing developments. Some residents in the fire zone knew and accepted the risks of living there, but many had no idea they were living so near to danger.
Many residents simply won't give up on their properties and the lifestyle they symbolise. Eve Troeh follows families who evacuate and still return, and the fight they have with public officials who want to shut the neighbourhood down.

'Little Fish in a Multiculti Pond'
A short tram ride from the centre of Amsterdam is a neighbourhood called the Baarsjes, or "little fish." One-and-a-half square kilometres house 35,000 residents - more than half of which are foreigners from 126 countries.
The largest immigrant communities are from Morocco and Turkey. Such multicultural diversity in such a small area has not been without serious problems. But residents believe they can make a difference by taking initiatives to bring this diverse community together.

'At the Edge in Soweto'
On the edge of Johannesburg, densely populated Soweto is where Freddy and Sibusiso, young men in their 20s, live and are looking for work. Unemployment among young people there is higher than the national average and rising. Anza Dali is looking for a job too.
She explores how Freddy and Sibusiso cope with long-term unemployment and the constant temptation to make a 'fast buck' rather than an honest buck.

Usually we're really busy and we race into work in the morning by car or by train and start tapping away on our computers and send emails hither and thither, but this week on Earth Beat we're slowing down.
From the way you cook, to shipping goods around the world we find out why slow is often more sustainable.

'Wedge Island'
North of Perth, Western Australia - on a rugged and secluded stretch of coastline - is a settlement time forgot. Its shacks are makeshift creations fashioned out of corrugated iron with no electricity or running water. It's a holiday in the finest Australian beach shack tradition.
But it could all be about to end. Officially, the residents of Wedge Island are squatters. Twenty years ago the government introduced its Squatter Removal Policy, slowly working its way down the coast demolishing more than 600 shacks. Wedge Island is next in line. But the shackies are shaping up for the fight of their lives.
