THE SEX BUSINESSIt's known as the world's oldest profession, and it's also one of the most controversial... should prostitution be legal? Germany's liberal approach means 400,000 women are now working as prostitutes and mega-brothels are opening across the country, earning it the title of Europe's Bordello. Amos Roberts takes his camera inside this often secretive and hidden world to reveal Germany's booming brothel business and meet the people behind it. In what could be described as sex supermarkets, prominent advertising and luxury surroundings attract the male customers, who can choose from the range of women on offer. But what are the real-life stories of those touting for business in the brothel windows? And what will happen if the politicians lobbying for change get their way?MAKING BRAZIL BEAUTIFULBrazil is spending over $12 billion preparing for the World Cup, but it's not just its cities and stadiums that are getting a makeover. Demand for plastic surgery has risen by 40% in two years, making the country second only to the US for the amount of operations being carried out. It's because of the increasing availability of cut-price and even government-funded plastic surgery, plus a group of surgeons who believe it shouldn't just be available to the rich. Seyi Rhodes follows some of the women having noses narrowed and tummies tucked in operations they see as essential for their wellbeing. But is Brazil's desire for beauty really as healthy as they think?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. In this story, 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 |
