Mehmet is 40 years old and is living on borrowed time. He suffers from silicosis, an incurable disease that has largely disappeared from Western Europe with the closure of the coalmines. But in this poor neighbourhood of Istanbul, where we returned after first filming here two years ago, we found dozens of other victims like Mehmet.

After ten years the euro, it has to be said, has not lived up to its promises. Throughout the euro area mistrust of the single currency is steadily increasing. Today many Europeans have grown to dislike the euro, despite the decisions and policies of the powers that be.

Wildenstein is a name that towered over the art world for more than 40 years. Regarded as the greatest art dealer of the 20th century, Daniel Wildenstein, a discreet man, possessed more than 10,000 pictures at the height of his career. But since his death in 2001, the Wildenstein name has been linked to what could be one of the largest episodes of tax evasion of the last 10 years.

This hard-hitting film investigates the website that has given rise to one of the greatest controversies of the last decade – one which is far from over.
WikiLeaks is an international non-profit organisation that publishes submissions of private, secret and classified media from anonymous news sources and news leaks. In late 2010, the website courted controversy by publishing hundreds of thousands of classified US diplomatic and military documents.

Hundreds of Somalis are falling ill, poisoned by other peoples’ waste. Barrels of toxic and even nuclear waste frequently wash-up on the shores of Puntland and Somalia, and the beaches are often strewn with dead fish.
It costs just $2.50 to dump a tonne of toxic waste off the coast of Somalia. It’s the world’s cheapest rubbish dump and a nice little earner for some westerners, who would have to pay $1,000 to dump their trash back home.
But who is dumping this waste in Somali waters? Who in Somalia is making money from it?
Two Italian journalists have already lost their lives for asking such questions. Award winning journalist Paul Moreira re-opens the inquiry.
It’s an investigation that leads into the shady underworld of Italian businessmen and criminals, Somali pirates and the lethal nuclear waste industry.
