MURDOCH'S TV PIRATESOn Tuesday's Dateline, new allegations of involvement in hacking against Rupert Murdoch's media empire... this time in the lucrative pay TV industry. An investigation by Vivian White from the BBC's Panorama claims a Murdoch-owned company, NDS, contracted computer hackers to acquire and distribute the smartcard codes of a pay TV rival in the UK.It meant viewers of ITV's On Digital could watch pay TV channels for free, which has been blamed for undermining its business and contributing to its eventual collapse. That cleared the way for Sky TV, which is part owned by News Corp, to become the market leader.In the report, the hacker at the centre of the previously secret operation breaks his silence. Rupert Murdoch himself has since used Twitter to strenuously deny the allegations. NDS also denies the allegations.VANUATU'S PIGGY BANKWith the world rocked by economic turmoil, Dateline explores an alternative financial system that's secure, stable and has stood the test of time.Officially Vanuatu is one of the world's 'least developed countries', but this is misleading. 80% of the population have almost no need for cash at all - they live on their own land and grow, fish and hunt for their food. When they do need money, they simply make their own - traditional currencies like woven mats and pigs with tusks can be used to pay school fees and medical bills.On the island of Pentecost there's even a traditional bank that accepts deposits of pig tusks and claims to have reserves of $1.4 billion.ANATOMY OF A MASSACREWhat really happened on the night of March 11 when 17 Afghan civilians were massacred in Kandahar province?US soldier Robert Bales is in custody, facing charges of mass murder, but Afghan investigators suspect there may have been at least one other killer involved.With unprecedented access to Afghan military investigators, Yalda Hakim travels to the villages where the massacre took place and interviews survivors of the attack, as well as Afghan guards at the US military base that housed the alleged gunman. What she finds out from them has made headlines in the United States and around the world |
