| Summary |
UNDERWORLD CUP In the slums of Rio, gun toting gangsters are running their own version of the World Cup. The Underworld cup...a tournament where Rio's most violent gangs play each other. Many of the teams are owned by drug lords who brandish machine guns on the sidelines. The ugly side of the beautiful game.MIRACLE SCHOOLIn the slums of Brazil's Rio de Janeiro, a new approach to schooling is giving traumatised and impoverished kids a second chance. The UERE Project is the brainchild of Yvonne Bezerra de Mello. She set up the school after the massacre of eight street children by police in July 1993. In a community where crime and violence are endemic, De Mello's methods help improve students' brain functions such as memory and verbal skills as well as self-esteem and emotional intelligence. On a typical day, lessons are no more than 20 minutes long, children can take turns leading the class through role play, there is no rote learning or note taking, and they are fed meals. On Tuesday's Dateline, Sarah Abo visits the miracle school in one of Rio's most violent favelas and meets the inspiring teacher who's turning kids' lives around.BRITAIN'S NEW CRUSADERS Britain First, call themselves a street defence organization. Wearing paramilitary style uniforms and on so called, Christian patrols, supporters 'invade' mosques across the country to distribute Christian material. Their leader, Jim Dowson, admits to pursuing a 'holy war' against Islam. And support for the group is growing, particularly online. It's Islamophobic posts regularly go viral and the group claims it is the most popular political party on Facebook. Now Britain First have threatened a campaign of 'direct action' against any journalist reporting on the group. On Tuesday, Channel Four reporter Paraic O'Brien goes inside Britain First ... the political party with dangerous intentions.LES MURRAY'S MISSION - PART 2This is part two of Les Murray's journey back to Hungary. Nearly 60 years ago, Les and his family were forced to escape from communism, and in this story, Mark Davis travels to Hungary with him to retrace their steps. Les wants to find the people smuggler who helped them. While many see people smugglers as taking advantage of the most vulnerable, Les says enormous risks were taken for his family and he's determined to track the man down and say thank you. He has only a few clues, including the first name of one of the people involved and the name of the village where he lived. Along the way, there's an emotional journey and unexpected reunions, but does Les eventually find the man he's after? To celebrate 30 years of Dateline and Les Murray's semi-retirement as Mr Football, we are running a special repeat of this episode |
