TURKEY'S RAGEThe death toll in the Turkish mining disaster has reached 301, with the last body finally brought out after last week's fire and explosion deep underground. But the grief has spread far beyond Soma in the country's west, as angry protests continue to take place across Turkey over its poor record on mine safety and the government's reaction to the tragedy. A week on from the fire, Tuesday's Dateline will have the latest from Brett Mason on this unfolding disaster and developing political crisis. Speaking to distraught relatives and looking at the response of the government and mining officials, Brett reports on the human cost of the tragedy and asks what must be done to stop it happening again.THE VIEW FROM JAKARTAIndonesia heads to the polls in just over a month's time, and the Australian Government will be watching particularly closely after recent difficult relations between the two countries. On Tuesday's Dateline, Mark Davis sits down with the Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa to get an insight into the relationship between Australia and one of its most important neighbours. What's his take on Tony Abbott's policy to turn back refugee boats, the Australian Navy's incursions into Indonesian waters and the revelations over the surveillance of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono? And crucially, Mark asks him if Indo-Australian relations are really back on track ahead of the elections.MODI'S INDIA?The leader of India's Hindu nationalist party, Narendra Modi, is to become Prime Minister after a landslide victory in elections that saw a record 551 million people vote. But the man who's become the figurehead of the Bharatiya Janata Party is also still being linked to the 2002 riots in Gujarat, which left an estimated 2,000 dead. Tuesday's Dateline will revisit Amos Roberts' story from 2008, which included hidden camera footage of Hindu men giving graphic details of how they'd massacred Muslims. Modi was the state's Chief Minister at the time and, according to the confessions, he and other politicians, lawyers and police chiefs knew exactly what was going on. Amos asks how they were managing to escape prosecution and if the new government leader of the world's largest democracy has blood on his hands?JAMAL'S JOURNEYJamal Osman is now an award-winning journalist working for Channel 4 in the UK, but his journey to success has been long and difficult and could easily have failed. He left his native Somalia in 1996 after escaping a massacre, determined that there must be a better life away from that wartorn country. On Tuesday's Dateline, he retraces that dangerous journey, and views it afresh through the eyes of the stream of refugees still fleeing on the same route he took to South Africa. Jamal says the 'borders dissolve' now he has his British passport, but back then he was at the mercy of people smugglers and border guards with no guarantee he would make it. All in search of a safe place to call home |
