Dateline interviews the Australian policeman embroiled in controversy over the complex murder case of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri; Mafia-style gangs have taken control of Argentinian football leading to deadly violence, but corruption means little is being done and; After finding Australia's old computers and TVs dumped in impoverished Ghana, Dateline calls the government to account.WHO KILLED HARIRI?When former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri was assassinated by a car bomb in Beirut in 2005, it rocked the whole of the Middle East. He was seen as a transforming figure after years of civil war, and wasn't scared to take on the powerful forces seeking to control his country. But attempts to track down his killers have led investigators on a difficult and deadly journey. Now, Dateline's Yaara Bou Melhem has a rare interview with the top Australian policeman brought in to help solve the case. The Deputy Commissioner of New South Wales Police, Nick Kaldas, lays the blame with Hezbollah, but attempts to try four of its members have so far failed, plunging Kaldas and the UN-backed murder tribunal into an international political controversy. So what next for such a significant criminal case? And will its outcome destabilise Lebanon once again?FOUL PLAYFootball provokes passion around the world, but in Argentina those passions have been twisted into a deadly criminal movement that's led to 14 deaths in the past 18 months. At the heart of the problem are the mafia-style gangs that seemingly control the football clubs. They take a cut of ticket sales and transfer fees, and demand protection money, assisted by high level political and police corruption. Argentinians have watched in disbelief as televised games have turned into massive fights, with little done to stop the violence. Nick Lazaredes meets some of those risking their own safety to speak out against the so-called barras bravas, but is anyone really listening?E-WASTE ANGERDateline viewers were shocked and angered by last week's story about old computers and TVs from countries like Australia being found dumped in impoverished Ghana. So this week, Dateline calls the government to account. In part one of our story, Giovana Vitola found that e-waste we thought was being recycled, was instead being shipped illegally to Africa, ending up in a poisonous burning dump in the capital Accra. Stamped across the equipment, the names of companies and government bodies in Australia, Britain and the United States, with many hard drives still intact and containing potentially confidential information. In our follow-up story, Mark Davis gets reaction from Australia in interviews with Lee Bell of the National Toxics Network and Senator Don Farrell, as Dateline asks the Australian Government how this is allowed to happen, who is responsible and what ministers plan to do about it |
