| Summary |
FIGHTING CHANCELast year, Dateline's Aaron Lewis met some extraordinary youngsters at a camp for children with Tourette Syndrome in the United States. One of them, 14-year-old Zack Lamb, has one of the most severe cases in America and his condition has grown progressively worse since Aaron first filmed with him. He involuntarily hits out at his family in violent rages, which got so bad at one point he had to be put into a coma. On Tuesday's Dateline, Aaron returns to the story to meet a family at a crossroads. There's only one procedure left that they believe might bring him some peace... a risky operation known as Deep Brain Stimulation. It involves implanting a device that sends electrical impulses to Zack's brain, which might help curb his relentless ticcing. But it's such a rare procedure, can Zack's family find a surgeon willing to perform this potentially life-altering surgery?VENEZUELAN MELTDOWNAt least 20 people have now died in violent anti-government protests in Venezuela, as what started as a peaceful student-led movement threatens to engulf the country. But the world has seen relatively little of what's going on because of government repression of the media. Journalists have been detained, beaten and expelled. So Dateline has used its contacts within Venezuela to gather pictures and stories of what's really happening on the streets for a report on Tuesday's program. One protester describes being shot during a violent protest. Many other protesters are said to be 'missing'. There are also accounts of armed government supporters terrorising residential neighbourhoods at night. But backers of President Hugo Chavez's successor, Nicolas Maduro, tell Dateline they'll do whatever is required to defend their country.MOUNTAIN RESCUEThe picturesque snow covered peaks of the Scottish Highlands are becoming increasingly popular with walkers, climbers and skiers. But as the number of tourists rises, so does the number of people getting lost, injured or even killed as they venture beyond their experience. On Tuesday's Dateline, Evan Williams meets the hardened team of volunteers who make up the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team. Following them through the deep snow and freezing conditions, Evan is given an insight into the hidden dangers and difficulties facing both them and the people they're trying to rescue. 24 people died in Scotland's mountains last year, so they're often the ones who make the difference between life and death |
