We ask why the president of Uzbekistan suddenly changed the names of stations in the capital. He gave passengers no prior warning, and so many passengers missed their stop. And, find out how the ancient art of calligraphy is experiencing a renaissance on social media. We meet one star calligrapher whose handwriting videos have won him thousands of followers.
