| Summary |
BRAZIL'S HELLHOLEDateline has managed to get access to the largest prison in Latin America, where thousands of people are living and dying in filth and squalor. It's described as like 'being in a rubbish tip', where prisoners die every day with little medical assistance.Central Prison in the city of Porto Alegre in Brazil was built 50 years ago to house 2,000 offenders, but now has 5,000 inmates crowded into rancid, ramshackle cells.Giovana Vitola, a broadcaster from SBS Radio's Portuguese service, was able to film inside the prison for Dateline because those inspecting it are desperate to reveal its true nature.But how is this able to happen in a country with a strong economy, preparing to host the world at the 2016 Olympics?Watch Giovana describe her experiences on Dateline.THE TERROR TRAILThe Jama'at-ud-Da'wah organisation in Pakistan says it's a charity helping the poor, but the US and UN say it's a front for one of the world's biggest terrorist networks.Journalist Evan Williams goes in search of the truth for Dateline, and gains rare access to the organisation's headquarters to see its work first-hand and hear its assurances.But the UN says it's simply a new name for the Lashkar-e-Taiba group, which was banned in Pakistan following terrorist attacks in India, including the deaths of 173 people in Mumbai in 2008.Make up your own mind after watching Evan's report.INTERVIEW WITH QUEEN NOOR'Nuclear terrorism is now one of the most challenging threats to international security', according to US President Barack Obama, and this week he gathered representatives from 47 nations in Washington to discuss how to tackle the threat.They agreed a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), which commits to securing nuclear equipment and information to stop it falling into the wrong hands, but the fight against so-called 'loose nukes' will be no easy task.George Negus interviews one of the dignitaries who attended, Queen Noor of Jordan. She's the widow of the late King Hussein of Jordan, and co-founder of the anti-nuclear weapons proliferation campaign Global Zero.He asks what she thinks of the new treaty and if 'global zero' will ever become a reality. International current affairs hosted by George Negus. (An SBS Production) CC WS |
