Summary Where in the world is George Negus?When Dateline returns for 2010 on Sunday, 21 February at 8.30pm, its intrepid host will be in Libya, conducting a rare, face-to-face interview with the country's leader, Muammar Gaddafi.During his 40 years in power Colonel Gaddafi has been accused of harbouring terrorists, and his country was ultimately held responsible for the 1989 Lockerbie bombing. But in recent years he's sought to build bridges between himself and the West. Late last year he signed a declaration, reiterating the importance of countering terrorism in all its forms.Don't miss Dateline's first show for 2010, as George Negus sits down with Colonel Gaddafi.BAGRAM'S CREATURE COMFORTSAlso on Dateline, video journalist David Brill takes you inside the utterly surreal world of Bagram Air Base. This massive military compound, the cornerstone of US operations in Afghanistan, houses 25,000 people. You can see a movie, go to uni, buy a Harley Davidson or get a haircut - all while on rotation in one of the most dangerous places on Earth. But are these soldiers too pampered? The new commander in Afghanistan, General McChrystal, is reportedly unimpressed with such creature comforts. Will karaoke nights and salsa classes be banned? Find out what the troops think about life in Bagram.PALAU'S SHARK ALARM And finally, dive into the world's first national shark sanctuary. Dateline VJ David O'Shea dons a mask and fins to film the pristine, shark-friendly waters surrounding the tiny island nation of Palau. Here, 130 species of shark are now officially protected from becoming that Asian delicacy, shark fin soup.But with just one patrol boat covering 600,000 square kilometres of ocean, how protected are the sharks really? Or is the sanctuary just a clever marketing campaign to attract gullible eco-tourists? (An SBS Production) CC WS
