Diplomacy
We meet Georgia’s ambassador to Germany and take a dip at the UN swimming club in Geneva.
Europe
Commuters take to the water in Stockholm, the Italian prime minister tackles corruption and Slovenians get ready to go to the polls.
Design/Architecture
The new Museum of Art and Archeology in Portugal's Côa Valley, plus other projects and players to watch.

Europe
High-speed rail lines are in the pipeline for the UK and Turkey, while a breath of fresh air is promised in the landscaped gardens of the redeveloped Le Forum des Halles, Paris.

Europe
