Summary EGYPT'S REVOLUTIONVideo journalist Amos Roberts was shot at, tear gassed, attacked, detained and interrogated while reporting from Egypt for this Sunday's Dateline.But despite the intimidation from the military intelligence and Hosni Mubarak's supporters, he gets inside the protest movement against the president's 30 years of authoritarian rule.The movement's used social networks, like facebook and twitter, to tell the world what's happening in Egypt; and it's built into the deadly protests that neither the Mubarak regime nor the world's media have been able to ignore.ASSANGE SPEAKSVideo journalist Mark Davis's unprecedented access to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange continues, with an exclusive interview for Dateline with the Australian whistleblower.He tells Mark he believes the Gillard Government is secretly providing the United States with information about Australians working with the whistleblowing group.WikiLeaks' role in sparking the turmoil in Egypt and Tunisia and his soured relations with The New York Times and The Guardian also come under scrutiny.And he speaks about this week's extradition hearing in London, over Sweden's request to question him over sexual assault allegations, which he strenuously denies.So what's next for the man who's become the face of WikiLeaks? A SPY EXPOSEDThe name, Valerie Plame, was never meant to be publicly known, but the former CIA spy ended up being exposed by the very government she had pledged to serve.Her identity was leaked after her husband, former United States Ambassador Joseph Wilson, publicly criticised George Bush's reasons for going to war with Iraq.Now, eight years on, her story has been turned into a Hollywood thriller, Fair Game, which she says is difficult to watch because it brings back so many memories.Video journalist Yalda Hakim meets Valerie in New Mexico, where she's forged a new life far away from the Washington spotlight, and talks to her about the lasting effect the episode has had on her and her young family
