Summary Dateline gets a rare glimpse inside the Ku Klux Klan in the US and asks why there's a new resurgence in members wanting to voice their racial hatred. Plus, images of protesting miners being shot dead by police in South Africa shocked the world, so who is policing the police? Also, how young is too young to change sex? Dateline reports on the complex issues surrounding transgender children. INSIDE THE KLANMeet Steve Howard, the Imperial Wizard of Mississippi's Ku Klux Klan. He's one of the estimated 8,000 Klan members in the United States, loudly proclaiming their racial hatred and demand for segregation. On Tuesday's Dateline, Aaron Thomas gets a fascinating insight into a world that ironically has been reignited by the election of Barack Obama. With rare access to both the Klan's elaborate firelit ceremonies and social family gatherings, he finds they're trying to present a new non-violent image with their own take on American patriotism. But the voice of opposition is loud too, as those who've seen it all before hope that history is not about to repeat itself.ABOVE THE LAW?The images of police shooting dead protesting miners in South Africa shocked the world, with scenes most hoped had been consigned to the past with the end of apartheid. But the video of last year's killing of 34 people is only one of several to emerge recently showing brutality by the country's police, which many say has gone way beyond self-defence. On Tuesday's Dateline, David O'Shea asks who's policing the police as they try and tackle some of the highest rates of violent crime in the world. He attends the Marikana Commission of Inquiry looking into the miners' deaths, where no punches are being pulled in the search for answers. And he hears the personal stories behind the headlines, including the family of taxi driver Mido Masia, who was filmed being dragged behind a police van, later dying from multiple injuries. The calls of victims' families and human rights campaigners are getting increasingly loud, but will it be heard in time to prevent further violent incidents?CROSSOVER KIDSOn the surface, Coy Mathis is a typical seven-year-old girl. She likes dressing up, gravitates towards the colour pink, and enjoys playing with her dolls... but Coy was born a boy. Jeannette Francis investigates the complex and fascinating world of transgender children. Backed by medical experts, a growing number of parents in the United States are allowing their kids to live openly as the other gender. For the children involved, the switch can end years of unhappiness and feelings of being trapped in the wrong body. But like other members of the transgender community, they can face deep social stigma and discrimination. So how young is too young to change sex?
