Summary BURMA'S BETRAYALBurma's election on 7th November has been described by world leaders as a 'sham', 'deeply flawed' and 'lacking credibility', and Dateline has arranged for hidden cameras in Burma to capture vision and interviews to prove it.Over two months, the Democratic Voice of Burma gathered evidence of elaborate election rigging to ensure the military maintains power; strict controls and surveillance of political parties and meetings; and punishment for anyone speaking out in opposition.This is on top of the ban on foreign journalists entering Burma, which meant video journalist Evan Williams had to meet his contacts in Thailand to put together his report.He also follows the efforts by human rights groups to broadcast to people inside Burma to try and break the military's control of information and ultimately its 50 year rule.HAITI'S HELLEven before January's devastating earthquake in Haiti, the country was considered the poorest in the Western Hemisphere. Now on top of that destruction, it's battling a cholera outbreak that's infected over 4,000 and left nearly 300 dead. It could get even worse if the disease reaches the tented slums around the capital, Port-au-Prince, where 1.3 million people live after being displaced by the earthquake. As the international relief effort steps up once again, Geoff Parish reports on Haiti's continued desperation. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANOIWhen video journalist David Brill was first in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, it was 1973 and just after the city had been bombed by the United States in the Vietnam War.Now he's returned for its 1000th birthday, and he's amazed at the changes in just that short period of its long history.On Sunday's Dateline, David describes the city's transformation from suffering and destruction, to a place that's slowly seeing much more success and happiness. He finds people that have embraced a Western way of life and are now working with America, but that haven't forgotten their troubled history and rich traditions.See David's very personal journey through Vietnam then and now.International current affairs hosted by George Negus.
