Summary BOUNTY HUNTERSIn the United States, granting bail to defendants isn't just a way of ensuring they return to court, it's also a multi-billion dollar industry for those who deal in bail bonds. On Tuesday's Dateline, Sebastian Walker investigates the controversial, but completely legal, way that defendants can pay only around 10% of their bail to secure their freedom. If they return to court, the bail bondsmen keep that money as profit. If they don't, a team of bounty hunters are allowed to take the law into their own hands to apprehend them. Sebastian follows them as they stop at nothing to track down people who've skipped their bail... now they have both the bounty hunters and the courts after them. It's a system that's legal in all but four states, but opponents say money and profit shouldn't be dictating where potentially innocent people wait until they're proven guilty. With two thirds of the country's jail population awaiting trial, many because they can't even afford to pay a bond, they say it's time for the bail system to be completely overhauled.THE BATTLE FOR BALIMillions of tourists head to Bali each year for its pristine beaches and beautiful scenery, but are they also threatening the island's entire future? On Tuesday's Dateline, David O'Shea visits a site not on the tourist trail, nicknamed Mount Rubbish... the huge pile of waste generated in part by the island's visitors is now poisoning drinking water. Locals say it's just one way they're under threat... the demand for the island's limited water supply is also threatening their farming industry and traditional way of life. Elsewhere, land prices have increased by 1000% in five years, and plans to reclaim land in Benoa Bay for a vast tourist development are causing huge controversy. But with tourism also so important to Bali's economy, how can the competing demands be met?AUSSIE-FRENCH FUSIONAustralian chefs are cooking up a storm in the most unlikely of locations... the world's culinary capital of Paris. A new wave of cafes and restaurants run by ex-pats is drawing the crowds, and on Tuesday's Dateline Brett Mason joins the queues to see what the fuss is about. He finds their secret ingredient is not being held back by the old-fashioned style of French cooking and the search for Michelin stars... instead unfussy, wholesome Australian fusion is the order of the day. But while good coffee, Anzac biscuits and Vegemite are definitely on the menu for cafe owners like Brisbane sisters Anna and Stella, Shaun Kelly from the Sunshine Coast is wowing the critics at with his high-end home cooking. Even some foodie Parisians can't believe the chefs aren't French
