Summary THE GRESTE VERDICTDetained Australian journalist Peter Greste is set to hear the verdict in his Egyptian trial on Monday. Greste and two other Al Jazeera journalists were detained for falsely portraying Egypt as being in a state of "civil war" since president Mohamed Morsi's overthrow by the army last July. Egyptian prosecutors have demanded the maximum penalty of 15 to 25 years in jail for all defendants. Greste's family say they will remain strong and hopeful "for Peter's sake' in the lead up to the decision. On Tuesday's Dateline, SBS Correspondent Yaara Bou Melhem, will be in Cairo with Peter's brother, Andrew as the verdict is handed down.LES MURRAY'S MISSIONNearly 60 years ago, Les and his family were forced to escape from communism, and in this story, Mark Davis travels to Hungary with him to retrace their steps. Les wants to find the people smuggler who helped them. While many see people smugglers as taking advantage of the most vulnerable, Les says enormous risks were taken for his family and he's determined to track the man down and say thank you. He has only a few clues, including the first name of one of the people involved and the name of the village where he lived. Along the way, there's an emotional journey and unexpected reunions, but does Les eventually find the man he's after? To celebrate 30 years of Dateline and Les Murray's semi-retirement as Mr Football, we are running a special repeat of this episode.TREASURE HUNTERSIn 2010, a cancer-stricken multi-millionaire wanted to leave behind a special legacy. Intended to be the final act of a dying man, Forrest Fenn says he hid a chest full of gold - with nuggets as "big as a chicken egg" - somewhere in the mountains north of Santa Fe. According to the 83-year-old American, the only clue to the prize's whereabouts is in a poem. The art dealer survived his cancer and his hidden loot has captured a nation's imagination, sparking a hunting craze that's spread from coast to coast. As many as 6,000 people are now reported to be searching for the treasure. What happens when $3 million worth of treasure is buried for all the world to find? On Tuesday's Dateline, Nick Lazaredes goes on the hunt with self-declared "Fennatics" determined to hit the jackpot. What lengths will people go to in order to find the treasure? Or are they being conned in a giant hoax? Lazaredes meets the man considered by some as a real-life Indiana Jones
