Info: As Zimbabwe spirals ever deeper into repression and starvation, an Unreported World team just back from three weeks travelling undercover through the country reveals startling claims that the Mugabe Government is using the supply of AIDS drugs and food aid to gerrymander upcoming elections.

Reporter Evan Williams and Director Siobhan Sinnerton travel as tourists to avoid the scrutiny of Mugabe's pervasive intelligence service. They meet members of the political opposition, women who have been imprisoned and tortured, families desperate for food and struggling with 2000 percent inflation, and the tragic households headed by children orphaned by the AIDS pandemic.

Williams and Sinnerton arrive just as the government intelligence service launches a new campaign of repression, abducting and beating scores of opposition members across the country.

Info: Israel's government is in disarray after its failed Lebanon venture. The Palestinian authority is tearing itself apart in Gaza. On the West Bank, where a quarter-of-a-million Israelis live cheek-by-jowl with over two million Palestinians, ideologically driven Israeli settlers are exploiting these political weaknesses to take back settlements the Israeli government expelled them from only two years before and are expanding into new areas.

As Reporter Sandra Jordan and Producer Edward Watts find when a member of their own team is injured, violence in the West Bank is never far from the surface. As tensions escalate, the prospect of more widespread conflict across the West bank is growing by the day. If that happens, it'll make what's happening in Gaza look insignificant.

Info: Reporter Sam Kiley and producer Robin Barnwell begin their journey in Krushe Madhe and come across the burial of three men murdered in 1999 by Serb paramilitaries, whose bodies have only recently been found. Seventy-four others are still missing and there are already more than 200 dead in the town's graveyard.

It's clear that the fighting might have stopped but the war isn't over. Ethnic tensions are high, with 16,000 foreign troops patrolling the streets and countryside to keep the peace. Serbs, blamed for the ethnic cleansing of Albanians which provoked Nato's intervention, now find themselves in a tiny minority scattered across the province in enclaves, unable to speak the language of the majority, and unwilling to join in the political process.

Info: Westerners are completely absent from Mogadishu, with the situation even more precarious for journalists following the murder of cameraman Martin Adler, shot by an unidentified hit man at an anti-American public rally in June. Reporters Barnwell and Hartley are forced to work under constant threat of assassination from various factions.

Beginning their journey in Mogadishu, it's immediately clear that militants, known as the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) have seized the capital and are extending their power through both the gun barrel and religious persuasion. While Western powers failed to bring law and order to even a few blocks of Mogadishu and rescue Somalia from years of anarchy and 500,000 deaths, Unreported World shows how UIC has been winning the hearts and minds of ordinary Somalis by quickly-brought, real improvements to their lives.

Sweet! good work!

Bolivia's indigenous peoples are exercising political power for the first time since the Spanish conquest, following the election of President Evo Morales. But his pledge to redistribute land and resources in a country where seven percent of the population own ninety per cent of the land has rapidly led to confrontation between whites and indigenous groups.

New episode, -
Rainforest Warriors

Reports on the rising violence in West Papua as the Indonesian government tries to wrestle control of the region from the local tribal peoples. Evan Williams goes deep undercover on a tourist visa as journalists are forbidden in the area.

Blood diamonds may get all the media attention, but as this week's Unreported World highlights, there's a far cheaper commodity bought by millions of Britons every week, which is fuelling a violent conflict in West Africa: chocolate. Hundreds of men, women and children have been killed, villages razed to the ground and thousands forced to move into slum refugee camps. And all because the world loves chocolate.

China's Olympic Lie

Channel 4’s Unreported World covers the story of everyday human rights abuses in Beijing - such as violent forced evictions, which paradoxically seem to be increasing just as the city prepares to throw open its doors to the watching world.

Sri Lanka - Killing For Peace

Around 100,000 British tourists holiday in Sri Lanka every year, but thanks to a clampdown on the international media, few realise that away from its famous beaches, a new chapter in the country's 30-year civil war has opened, in which innocent civilians are paying a bloody price.

New Episode - Cocaine City

Reporter Hamida Ghafour and producer James Brabazon travel to one of the strangest, wildest cities on earth - Buenaventura, on Colombia's Pacific coast.

There is little running water or electricity in Buenaventura and housing is so scarce that people have constructed whole neighbourhoods of shacks built on stilts. Yet, over the last two years violent death has become an everyday fact in this city of around 300,000 people. Everyone is affected, almost everyone has lost someone.
The team is told that this run down backwater is at the centre of the Colombian cocaine trade, controlled by private armies by the cartels who make millions of dollars shipping their drugs to America.

New Episode - Mongolia: Ninja Nation

The people of Mongolia have pulled off one of the great geopolitical magic tricks of all time managing to establish a country almost the size of Europe, shared between a population equivalent to that of Greater Manchester, right between the superpowers of China and Russia. Reporter Aidan Hartley and producer James Brabazon travel deep into the gobi desert and discover a country gripped by the greatest gold rush of modern times. The miners are known as Ninjas, how they got their name is rather strange.

Guinea Bissau - Cocaine Country

Unreported World reports from Guinea Bissau in West Africa, and reveals the astonishing extent to which Colombian drugs traffickers have taken advantage of one of the world's poorest countries and turned it into the main transit point for hundreds of tons of cocaine smuggled into Europe every year.

With chronic poverty, rampant corruption and almost no police or customs, the Colombians have virtually "bought" the country, flooding it with drugs money and creating Africa's first "narco-state".

China's African Takeover.
Unreported World comes from Central Africa, where our demand for Chinese-made goods such as mobile phones, MP3 players and laptops comes at a terrible human cost.
China's economic boom is resulting in the biggest scramble for Africa since the end of European colonialism. Trade between Beijing and Africa has more than quadrupled since 2000 and hundreds of new companies, many of them partly owned by the Chinese State, have set up. Thousands of Chinese workers are now in Central Africa, buying up copper and cobalt.

Latest episode - Lost Generation

Cape Town is the darling of the jet set; the back drop to fashion shoots and a tourist mecca. But as this week's Unreported World reveals, behind Cape Town's ultra-glamorous image, it's now South Africa's murder capital; gripped by the devastating effects of a highly addictive drug which is tearing the city's fabric apart.

Reporter Sam Kiley and director Paul Kittel begin their journey in Manenberg - one of the squalid townships which are home to most of Cape Town's two and a half million residents. It's one of the areas of the city where the devastating effects of methamphetamine - locally known as "tik" - are driving a crime wave which has more than doubled in 12 months.

Egypt's Rubbish People

Unreported World exposes a dark side to Egypt that the authorities don't want foreigners to see: a secretive society of around 40,000 people literally living in rubbish in a Cairo ghetto overrun by rats and disease.

Reporter Evan Williams and producer James Brabazon are some of the first journalists to film inside the ghetto where tens of thousands live with garbage stacked to the roofs of their multi-storey homes - eking out a living recycling the rubbish by hand. It's a sight rarely seen by outsiders, and almost definitely not by the million British Tourists who visit Egypt every year.

This group is unique for another reason. They're part of Muslim Egypt's Christian minority; a community claiming to be besieged by persecution, extremism and a creeping Islamisation in Egypt's security services.

The team highlights one the most sensitive issues faced by some of those in Egypt - their decision to convert to Christianity - a decision that some Muslims believe should be punishable by death under a strict interpretation of sharia religious law.

One convert, "Christine", tearfully claims that officers from the government's State Security Intelligence have threatened to torture those trying to convert, rape their daughters in front of them and jail them on false charges of prostitution.

Russia: Railway of Bones

As President Vladimir Putin prepares to hand Russia's presidency to his chosen successor, Unreported World travels deep into the country's Arctic North to examine his legacy. Reporter Sam Kiley and director Nick Sturdee discover a nation where political dissent is stifled, corruption is rife, and where little of Russia's huge wealth reaches a population racked by poverty, alcoholism and suicide.

Raising The Red Flag - Nepal

Unreported World's Sandra Jordan travels to Nepal, the world's only Hindu monarchy, where Maoist revolutionaries have waged a war that has claimed 7,000 lives in seven years - over 5,000 of which have been lost since the royal family massacre in June 2001.

USA: The Devil's Highway

Unreported World comes from one of the most hostile places on earth - the Sonora desert in Northern Mexico. Hot, waterless and full of rattlesnakes, it's crossed every day by thousands of migrants desperate to reach the USA - many of whom die a lonely death trying to fulfill their dream of a better life.

Nicaragua: Blood, Church & State

Unreported World reports from Nicaragua, a country where a climate of fear is scaring women from hospitals and doctors are afraid to carry out life-saving operations on their female patients. In October 2006, Nicaragua's government banned abortions in all cases; even in cases of rape, incest or life-threatening conditions, and the programme reveals how this has led to an increase in dangerous backstreet abortions and allegations that women are dying as a result.

Thanks for posting these. As an American, it's nice to see that some countries still want their citizenry educated in the affairs of the world. As I understand it the BBC is still government subsidized. Here stateside we really do not get much 'news of the world' via television news broadcast. I try to get what I can via world papers and internet but there is still only so much I can find. Videos like this at least make me more aware of situations that I can then research further.

Unreported World - The Drowning Country (Channel 4 - 7th March 2008)

Ramita Navai reports from Bangladesh, "a country on the front line of climate change". It's a phrase that may cause some eco-sceptics' antennae to twitch, but the evidence that follows is as persuasive as it is shocking. Bumping through the countryside in a rickety jeep, the reporter discovers the consequences of rising sea levels and increasingly severe flooding, with dispossession, poverty and starvation rife among Bangladeshis unfortunate enough to live near the country's 700-plus waterways.

Ten million people have been made homeless by recent flooding (such as in Dhaka in 2004), and 20 per cent of the country could disappear during the next century. The programme visits some of the areas - including South Khali (hit by last November's cyclone), the village of Kumira and land north along the Jamuna river - that have been badly affected.

Unreported World - Egypt's Rubbish People (Channel 4 - 8th February 2008)

Evan Williams reports on a little-known group of Cairo-dwellers, their suburb heaped with piles of rubbish in which pigs, rats and children root around.

This is a Christian ghetto, where 40,000 Coptic Christians live, worship and make their living from the rubbish in the midst of the largely Muslim city. While Egypt likes to be seen by the rest of the world as a secular country, in practice the lives of Christians are hedged around with oppression. The Egyptian authorities made almost comically clumsy efforts to control Williams's reporting, but what emerges is a disturbing dispatch from a bitter religious battleground.

If you want to know what Darfur is like, watch this. Reporter Nima Elbagir meets the rarely filmed Arab fighters accused of doing the Sudanese government's dirty work in Darfur (it publicly, if unconvincingly, disowns them), a militia whose leader claims to have taken orders from the Sudanese president, though his men now feel Khartoum has betrayed them.

Unreported World - Gaza - Reign Of The Rockets (Channel 4 - 28th March 2008)

Info: http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/ontv...in+gaza/1822847

As terrorists strike deep in the heart of Israel and schoolchildren are buried in Gaza, a new and devastating chapter in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict looks set to unfold. Israel and Hamas are on collision course, each new incursion or terror attack propelling them towards outright war. It is a confrontation with the potential to set a new standard for horrific violence in the Middle East.

Unreported World reporter Sam Kiley and director Edward Watts travel across Israel, Gaza and the West Bank to discover whether Hamas' strategy is working despite Israeli assaults, a siege on Gaza, international isolation, and virtual civil war. Are the Islamists' succeeding in their aim to be a credible government and lead the Palestinian national cause?

Benin is the home of Voodoo. The ancient animist belief was taken by slaves from this tiny West African state to Haiti and New Orleans. Benin is the only country in the world that officially recognises Voodoo as a state religion, affording it the same national status as Christianity or Islam.

But, as Unreported World reveals, Voodoo is trapping thousands in poverty and causing some families to sell their children in to slavery. Seen by its adherents as traditional belief that connects them to their land, culture and ancestors, Voodoo is a complex set of beliefs and obligations that, it is claimed, has helped enforce religious and social order for more than 4,000 years. However, as reporter Evan Williams and director James Brabazon discover, it is frequently perpetuated by threats, fear and even the kidnapping of young children.

Unreported World - Brazil: The Amazon's Golden Curse (Channel 4 - 11th April 2008)

Info: http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/ontv...n+curse/1996547

Unreported World travels to the heart of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest to reveal just how some of the Earth's most isolated people are being affected by the world's financial crisis causing the price of gold to rise to record levels.

As the price of gold rises, thousands of miners are illegally mining in remote territory set aside for the indigenous Yanomami people, who have had little contact with the outside world. The miners bring disease, alcoholism and prostitution, as well as ecological devastation.

Kenyan born reporter Aidan Hartley and director George Waldrum report from Kenya on the exploding population problem, one of the root causes of the recent violence, and a crisis which may yet lead to the complete implosion of what has been Africa's most stable democracy. The link between terrible violence and the fact that the land just cannot sustain Kenya's growing numbers has gone almost unnoticed by the international media and NGOs.






Channel 4's acclaimed foreign affairs strand returns with an eye-opening, and horrifying, investigation into "Muti Murder" in South Africa. While the country is modernising fast, Unreported World reveals how hundreds of people, including children, have been killed for body parts destined for the booming practise of traditional medicine and talks to a "healer" who claims he tortures and kills people for his trade.

Haiti hit the headlines last year when it was hit by yet another hurricane. Unreported World returns to the island to find that it's still in a state of emergency.
Locked in a vicious cycle of environmental disaster, hunger, poverty and reliance on international aid, it's perhaps the most extreme example of what is happening to many of the world's poorest countries.

Pakistan's Double Game

Unreported World visits the frontline of the struggle against al-Qaeda and Islamic militancy, and examines whether President Musharaf's policy of working with the West to defeat Islamic terror will ultimately bring about his own downfall and the creation of a militant Islamic Pakistani state. Reporter Sharmeen Chinoy-Obaid travels to Lahore to meet leaders of the militant Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, which is fighting to drive India out of Kashmir. They tell her that despite being officially labelled as terrorists by the government, they have friends in high places in the army, as well as widespread support amongst the population, and as a result, their activities have been unofficially tolerated. However this tolerance of militants has led to a situation where Pakistan is suffering from terrorism and suicide bomb attacks, including at least five attempts to assassinate the President. And these attacks aren't just on the army and government ministers who the Islamists see as their enemy for supporting the West's War on Terror. Increasingly, Sunnis are attacking Shias, and Chinoy-Obaid talks to the survivors of a suicide bombing on a Mosque. The Unreported World team travels to the North West Frontier Province, which borders Afghanistan, and where the Americans believe Osama bin Laden is in hiding. They talk to tribal leaders who tell the programme that it's fundamental to their culture not to take orders from outsiders, as well as their duty to protect guests, even if they come from al-Qaeda.
