BAHRAIN'S DARK SECRETAs Bahrain is torn apart by protest and brutal government repression, Dateline gains access to investigate a series of mysterious deaths and disappearances.Video journalist Yaara Bou Melhem had difficulty even getting into Bahrain to report for Dateline, and what she eventually found there was a regime determined to keep protesters quiet and out of the media. But she sets about investigating the country's dark secret of disappearances and deaths, including the backlash against the killing of a young father of two, Hani Jumah, in mysterious circumstances. And Yaara hears of the persecution and fear of those wanting to speak out, but who face violent attacks for standing up for democracy, even in the hospitals where they're sent for treatment. This season of Dateline has already gained unprecedented access to Libya, Tunisia, Egypt and Syria. This Sunday, watch Bahrain's story.WRESTLING WOMENWomen's wrestling is hugely popular in Bolivia, with crowds flocking to see women in traditional dress, known as cholitas, fighting it out in the ring.But the sport has also come to represent the fight for equal rights by the poor indigenous women of this south American country.They've become stars and celebrate the recognition they've received as a result, but say they're being exploited by promoters, make little money and receive no medical care for their injuries.Video journalist Giovana Vitola reports on their fight both in and out of the ringCONTROVERSY ISLANDIt's estimated that nearly half the population of the French island of Mayotte are illegal immigrants... most arrive on dangerous boats hoping for a new life in Europe, but end up living in filthy slums. But few people in mainland France are even aware of the problem, because Mayotte is many kilometres away off the coast of south east Africa. Video journalist Nick Lazaredes visits an area where hundreds live in diseased, crime-ridden squalor, and sees video from Amnesty International showing the treatment of the thousands of people being deported... but they still keep on coming to escape life in the neighbouring Comoros Islands. So what can the two countries do to tackle the problem? |
