WINTER OF DISCONTENTThe United Kingdom is currently facing the largest cuts in public spending for decades. Amid widespread protests and discontent, video journalist Evan Williams has been to meet some of the people worst affected. He joins students on the streets of London, where violent demonstrations over university fee increases and cuts in education spending have hit the headlines. In the north of England, he meets people already struggling, and now facing cuts in welfare benefits and community services, and even the prospect of losing their homes.

Or is it necessary pain to ensure the country's future economic prosperity?HAPPY JUICEVisitors are travelling from all over the world to a remote part of the Peruvian jungle for what they hope will be a life changing experience.

But the medical community is more sceptical, with serious concerns about the physical and mental side effects.HAITI'S SILENT KILLERWhen Dateline reported on the cholera outbreak in Haiti last year, it had left 300 dead. Now, 4,500 have been killed, and up to 200,000 could be infected. Reporter Alexis Monchovet has been to Haiti, just over a year on from the earthquake that triggered the impoverished country's latest crisis. The quake left hundreds of thousands homeless and living in filthy camps, where poor sanitation has created a fertile breeding ground for the disease. He finds a desperate battle not only to try and treat people, but to clean up water supplies and provide education about a disease, which some are still unaware of |
