In Russia, a country still struggling to shake off the spectre of its recent past, sculpted images of Communist times still enjoy some popularity. But with the state facing widespread poverty and many finding the old icons irrelevant, new sculptors such as the well connected Tsereteli Zurab are finding increasing favour. Presenter Andrew Harvey reports. Tom Gibb documents the gang wars being waged among San Salvador's youth from the frontline, and from Iran, Tim Whewell looks into why the Middle East's first condom factory has been sanctioned.
