Summary:
Cambodia SUMMARY: Cambodians go to the polls tomorrow and it is not difficult to predict the election outcome. In fact it hasn´t been difficult to predict the outcome since 1985. By all accounts the Prime Minister, or as he is better known among most Cambodians, `the one-eyed, chain smoking, strongman of Khmer´, Hun Sen, will continue his hold on the country. NAB SUMMARY: The National Australia Bank has announced it is increasing its expected losses on debt-related investments to more than $1 billion. What could this mean for US and Australian financial markets? Allan Jones - Getting off the Grid SUMMARY: In the early 1990s engineer Allan Jones set the town of Woking on the path of independence from the national grid. It was a move that saved customers money and radically reduced carbon emissions. He is now trying to repeat the same success for the City of London. Could it work in Australia? India's Middle Class SUMMARY: There are many interesting dimensions to Indian politics and India´s poor are highly politicised. But has India's middle class become disengaged from the political process? Some argue that politics for the middle class is now an intellectual preoccupation, not an urgent ethical imperative. So what it could it mean for democracy in India? Travellers Tales - Colombia SUMMARY: Colombia is one of the most dangerous places in the world and has been ravaged by years of violent civil conflict. Australian Matthew Thompson was living what he calls an unremarkable life but longed for a journey where he would be pushed to the edge. This is why he flew to Colombia. Film with Julie Rigg SUMMARY: Julie reviews the X Files: I Want to Believe and The Savages. The Savages stars Laura Linney and Phillip Seymour Hoffman and is about an estranged brother and sister who in mid life find they have to care for their father, who has dementia.
