Download In the Guiness Book of World Records, the smallest person comes from Nepal.

But it’s in the Philippines where some of the smallest people have big dreams.

They want to build a “Dwarf City” – a place of their own, where they won’t be discriminated against by the rest of the world.

They also plan to make this city a Philippines tourist attraction.

They call themselves the ‘little people’ – Madonna Virola meets them in a club in Manila.

Download Last year, China’s urban population overtook rural inhabitants for the first time in history.

Massive rural-urban migration has fed rapid urbanisation.

Many rural migrants live on city outskirts in so-called ‘urban villages’ – unplanned, crowded suburbs that house countless workers.

The people are described as “semi-urbanised”, and they don’t enjoy the same social welfare as residents born in the city.

Asia Calling’s Lam Li visited one urban-village - dubbed the “Nanny Village” – on the outskirts of Beijing.

Download The Baisakhi Festival is a three-day celebration for the Sikh community around the world – it marks the religion’s founding, the Sikh New Year, and the harvest season.

Sikhism began over 500 years ago in Punjab – regarded as the Sikh homeland in South Asia.

But Punjab is now divided between India and Pakistan, and the holy shrine of Gurdawa Panja Sahib is on the Pakistani side.

Each year thousands  of devotees come to Pakistan to visit the shrine for the festival.

Pakistani authorities deploy more than 1,000 security personnel to make sure Sikhs can celebrate in peace.

Mudassar Shah joins the crowds in Northern Punjab.
