| Summary |
OIL BONANZA?Alberta in Canada has one of biggest deposits of oil in the world, but it's also facing one of the biggest controversies about extracting it. It's because this oil is contained in vast areas of sand and the process to separate them creates huge amounts of greenhouse gases and waste water. On Tuesday's Dateline, Mary Ann Jolley looks at both sides of the oil sands controversy. For some communities, the economic benefit of producing two million barrels of oil a day far outweighs any environmental impact. But others, including rock star Neil Young, have mounted a campaign over worsening pollution and health, even comparing the effects of the industry to an act of genocide.THAI TRAUMAThailand's King has formally appointed the country's army chief as head of the nation's new military junta. It comes after the controversial ousting of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and the recent coup that brought the military to power. Tuesday's Dateline will have analysis of the developing situation from journalist, blogger and Thailand expert Andrew MacGregor Marshall. What does he think will happen next in this increasingly volatile country?SURVIVING CASTROMichelle Knight is celebrating her 33rd birthday, but she says it's actually more like her "first birthday ever". A year ago, she was one of three women rescued from Ariel Castro's house in Cleveland in the United States, after being held hostage and abused for 11 years. Michelle opens up about her experience in an interview to be broadcast on tonight's Dateline. She speaks candidly to Simon Hattenstone about her years of physical and mental torture, including five pregnancies by Castro that she was beaten into miscarrying. And all the time, she was constantly reminded that no one from her estranged family would be looking for her. Now, she feels her life is only just beginning and has hopes and dreams for the future, but how can she ever reconcile that with the horrific memories of her past? |
