HUNTING KONYAs a video about Joseph Kony goes viral, Aaron Lewis revisits his search for 'Africa's most wanted' and looks at the Kony 2012 internet sensation. In just a few days, a film highlighting the atrocities committed by Joseph Kony has become a worldwide internet sensation and brought renewed attention to the man described as 'Africa's most wanted'.In 2010, Dateline's Aaron Lewis was the first journalist permitted to travel with Ugandan troops as they trekked through the jungle searching for Kony, who's evaded capture for over 20 years. His Lord's Resistance Army has kidnapped 10,000 children, forcing them to become child soldiers or sex slaves, and killed thousands more people. Aaron met some of those who'd managed to escape after terrible ordeals, and got an insight into how he's evaded capture for so long in the vast central African jungle.On Tuesday's program, he revisits that report and looks at the Kony 2012 campaign, as it gains huge popularity, but also attracts criticism over its motives.PAIN IN SPAINThe financial crisis in Europe is hitting Spain particularly hard, with youth unemployment pushing 50% and hundreds of evictions every day of people who can no longer afford their mortgage repayments. On Tuesday's Dateline, David O'Shea travels across the country to get a personal insight from the people affected by the economic downturn. With five million out of work, unemployment benefits only paid for the first two years and property prices plummeting, David finds a country consumed by the crisis.While some are fighting back with noisy protests, others are quitting completely, leaving the country with a 'brain drain' of highly qualified workers. Economists say that Spain is 'too big to fail and too big to bail', so who will help the country out of its crisis?CARIBBEAN CRIME WAVETo the outside world, the Bahamas are an idyllic holiday hotspot, but for the residents, life is becoming increasingly difficult as violent crime increases. The islands' proximity to the United States has brought a rise in violent drug and gun crime in recent years, reaching its peak with the rape and murder of 11-year-old Marco Archer. Nick Lazaredes meets a community in horror over the scores of deaths, and increasingly calling for the death penalty to be enforced for the perpetrators. But even bringing people to justice is proving difficult, as witnesses face being intimidated or murdered. So how can this tiny island nation tackle its increasingly violent crime wave? |
