Pascale Harter introduces stories from correspondents in South Sudan, Ukraine, the United States and Southwest Papua.

More than a million people have now been displaced by the fighting that broke out in Sudan over a month ago. Many are heading across the border into South Sudan. But South Sudan is itself only just recovering from a civil war - so can they find safety there, or will they find themselves in yet another crisis? Catherine Byaruhanga has been to the South Sudanese town of Renk, close to the border, where she met families trying to figure out where to go next.

Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky, recently returned from the G7 summit in Japan where the US President Joe Biden gave the green light to Washington's allies to supply American-made F16 fighters to Ukraine. But just how will these jets help Ukraine's battle to defend its skies? Our correspondent Abdujalil Abdurasulov gained rare access to one of Ukraine's air bases and asked some of the fighter pilots there.

The US city of Chicago has a new mayor. At his swearing-in, Brandon Johnson, a former teacher and union organiser, spoke proudly of his humble beginnings in one of the most violent neighbourhoods in the Western hemisphere. Mike Wendling has been to the mayor's neighbourhood of Austin to see how data science is being used to try to reduce gun violence and murder.

And, watching turtles trace arabesques in the translucent waters of an archipelago off the coast of West Papua: Sarah Wheeler visits the islands of Raja Ampat in Indonesia鈥檚 far east. There she discovers a teeming marine life, undisturbed forests and a bird whose tail curves like Salvador Dali鈥檚 moustache. But she is most struck by the people of Raja Ampat, and how they live, far away from Indonesia鈥檚 busy capital.
