The heavy toll of terror

Description

We start in Japan, a country hit hard by the deadly hostage crisis in the Algerian desert. Ten Japanese were among the dozens of foreigners killed when Islamist terrorists stormed the In Amenas gas plant. Next, we head to a village in the Indian state of Rajasthan where an unofficial law has been imposed: single women cannot use mobile phones. And a Bali court hands down the death penalty to a British grandmother who was caught with almost 5 kilos of cocaine in her suitcase.
