Early Anglo entrepreneurs did not receive the type of welcome that they expected. Forays into this new, exotic territory were marked by tension, mistrust and hostility. Visitors soon found themselves embroiled in a difficult and uneasy relationship.

It's an ideological battle between those who want a fairer, better deal for the poor farmers in the developing world - and those who say the best way to get that is having a world wide free market. There are fault lines in both arguments. Reporter Jane Shields.

Bruce Shapiro This week Bruce discusses the life and legacy of Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina. Helms, who died on Independece Day (July 4th) at the age of 86. Helms was a standard bearer of the Right in US politics. He opposed desegregation and the civil rights movement; was a tireless anti-commnist campaigner; and a supporter of big tobacco. The Uses and Abuses of History The philosopher George Santanyana said that "those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it". But how much does history really teach us? Can we draw clear lessons from the past when so much of what has been written is coloured by political agendas and the interpretations of previous generations? A new book by prize-winning Oxford University historian Margaret Macmillan explores the way nations use - and abuse - history to shape their decisions and justify their actions.

Standard Operating Procedure - Philip Gourevitch Philip Gourevitch was covering the 2004 presidential election for the New Yorker magazine in the year the Abu Ghraib photographs came out showing the abuse of prisoners by American soldiers. He expected that this would change the nature of the conversation about America's conduct of the Iraq war. This didn't happen and ultimately only a handful of low-ranking soldiers were convicted of abusing prisoners. When filmmaker Errol Morris began to send him transcripts of interviews he had done with some of those soldiers Philip Gourevitch decided to work on a book with Morris looking at who and what was hidden by the framing. The book, like the film, is called Standard Operating Procedure.

The Prime MInister's suggestion for a group in the Asian region like the European Union was panned by the critics. But a new Australian Strategic Policy Institute Study suggests it's not such a bad idea.

In this first lecture Professor Spence reflects on Confucius, and his importance for the current Communist leadership.

For years it's been one of the science community's great taboos but the idea of global climate control is starting to be openly discussed. Ideas like placing giant mirrors in space or firing sulphur particles into the stratosphere to cool the planet are no longer just in the domain of science fiction. Many scientists now believe the time for these ideas will come. Reporter, Wendy Carlisle (This program was originally broadcast on 6th April 2008.) Read the following articles: Albedo Enhancement by Stratospheric Sulfur InjectionsClimate Change: The Uncertainties, the Certainties, and what they Imply About ActionPolicy Implications of Greenhouse Warming

Back in the classroom

Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim is once again embroiled in a sex scandal, after being accused of sodomy. It's the same charge that helped put him behind bars for six years in 1999. This time round, Dr. Anwar says he has solid evidence to prove the government has set him up as part of a dark conspiracy to kill off his political career. The embattled leader says he won't be silenced, vowing to fight tooth and nail to restore his reputation and seize back power.

Eddin Khoo Southeast Asia correspondent Eddin Khoo talks about the latest allegations of sodomy and sexual assault against Malaysian opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim. Anwar insists these are a repeat of previous concocted charges, designed to thwart his political ambitions. Anti-Semitism in the United Nations In September 2001, the United States and Israel walked out of the United Nations sponsored Conference Against Racism in Durban, over what they called hateful and anti-Israel language in a draft declaration. Both the U.S. and Israel alleged anti-Semitism was behind much of the anti-Israeli rhetoric. According to Professor Anne Bayefsky, an international legal scholar and human rights activist, this conference was indicative of a human rights system corrupted beyond recognition. She argues that the United Nations hijacks the language of human rights to discriminate and demonise Jews.

Bruce Shapiro - US Politics This week Bruce marks the passing of comedian, actor and author George Carlin; discusses the hundreds of people claiming the middle name Hussein to protest anti-Muslim smears againist Barack Obama; and in Bruce's words, "Obama's quick switcheroo" on public financing of campaigns and his step to the right on the death penalty. The Hebrew Republic What does it mean for Israel to be both 'Jewish' and 'democratic'? And how much longer will Arab Israelis accept their second-class status? Political economist Bernard Avishai argues that economic globalisation is offering Israel a way out of its current paradox: an economy like Singapore's and an ethno-religious conflict like Serbia's. Bitter Chocolate 'Bitter Chocolate' traces the history of the cocoa bean from its origins in the Mayan and Aztec cultures through to the current day use of children as slave labour on cocoa farms in Ivory Coast in West Africa.
