It is more than 20 years since the Colombian drug baron Pablo Escobar was shot dead in his home city of Medellin. At the height of his powers Escobar was said to be the seventh richest man in the world. And he controlled up to 80% of the world's cocaine trade. His unbelievable wealth and power were only matched by his brutality - he was responsible for thousands of deaths and kidnappings during the '80s and early '90s - a period when when his cartel terrorised Colombia.

Sebastian told Outlook what it was like to grow up as the son of one of the world's most notorious criminals.

On the banks of the river Ganges, in the city of Varanas, are 84 huge sets of steps, known as ghats. Over the years these ghats have become increasingly filthy due to industrial waste and being used as public lavatories. Now one woman, Temsutula Imsong has taken it upon herself to lead the efforts to clean them up.
