China is undertaking a controversial social experiment, in which citizens are rewarded for good behaviour, and undesirable acts are punished. Your accumulated social credit score could determine your fate. As the system has started to create a chasm between the haves and have-nots, people are asking, is this a cure to uncivilised behaviour, or a tool to silence descent?

位于土耳其的博斯普鲁斯大桥是世上第一座横跨欧亚大陆的大桥，2016年，这里发生的一场「企图政变」，赋予这条桥新的意义。政变后，总统埃尔多安借机大规模肃清军队、行政机关和司法机构等。这场政变令埃尔多安进一步加强独裁统治，但同时亦将土耳其推出欧盟的大门外。

Norwegian journalist Jørgen Lorentzen was in Turkey during the coup attempt in 2016. One of the neighbours stated that he had experienced many coups before, and that this was not a real coup. From that moment on Lorentzen started investigating the event and its aftermath. The result is the documentary film “A Gift from God”. The film is the product of three years of intense investigative journalism.

In Lebanon, Hezbollah controls broad areas of political and social life. Without it, nothing works in the cedar state. The men in black battle dress are not only taking over the suburbs but also gaining increasing influence beyond the country's borders. How can the Party of God be confronted?

Julian Assange is one of the most influential figures to emerge this century, unleashing a digital war against governments and corporations. Now with his legal fight against extradition to the US in full swing, Assange supporters warn his prosecution marks a dangerous chapter for freedom of information. This episode explores the events that have led to this moment for a polarising figure, both lauded as a hero and derided as a villain.

With Brexit dominating our airwaves, nationalism spreading across the continent, and people questioning identity and economic protectionism, the European dream seems to be over. How did we get here? Were we too eager in our vision of an “ever-closer union”? What happened to the ideals of peace, tolerance and liberty? How did Europe go from global utopia to a model of what not to do? From Brussels to Budapest, we investigate the future of Europe to discover if its citizens can still work together toward a common destiny.

1952年，新当选的美国总统艾森豪威尔曾暗示，要结束在韩国的战事，并宣布：「我将前往朝鲜！」在苏联领袖史太林去世后，停战协议终被敲定，南北韩的边界订定于三八线附近，即韩战开展的地方。两韩于1953年停战，往后几十年，北韩在增强军事实力的同时，试图推翻南韩政府，但并未成功。时至今日，两韩的分界线仍在存在，南韩拥有经济实力，而北韩则拥有核武。两韩关系近年虽有改善，但统一梦似乎仍无期。

The final surprise of the Korean War is that it does not know how to stop. When Eisenhower is elected in 1952, he implies that he will put a stop to the war, declaring: «I will go to Korea!». Ultimately, when Stalin dies, the Armistice is signed, and the border between South and North Korea is designated near the 38th parallel, where the Korean War had started in the first place. After the Armistice of 1953, the fall out from the war has a huge impact on global politics. Over succeeding decades, North Korea builds up its military capability while trying unsuccessfully to topple the government in Seoul. Today the line in Korea is still drawn; North Korea and South Korea are still grave enemies, while North Korea is now armed with nuclear weapons.

1945年，第二次世界大战后，韩国在经历了35年日本的占领后，终于获得解放，但随即成为美国及苏联之间角力的新战场，美苏协议将朝鲜半岛划分为两个区域。期后，苏联控制北韩，美国则控制南韩，达3年之久。韩战期间，北韩大批地主和基督徒被进行大清洗；南部则发生骚乱、宣传战和游击战。金日成在北部掌权，李承晚在南部当选总统，他们不惜一切代价，誓要征服对方，统一南北韩。但基于错误的估计和误解，战争陷入无休止的状态，最终招致南北双方都需要付出沉重的代价。

Our story begins with 35 years of brutal Japanese occupation, a sudden and arbitrary division of the 1000 year-old nation in 1945, followed by three more years of occupation by the U.S.S.R. in the North and the U.S. in the South. Wholesale purges of landowners and Christians ensue in the North, while riots, pitch battles and guerrilla warfare develop in the South. When Kim Il Sung comes to power in the North, and Syngman Rhee in the South, they share a common burning desire to conquer the other and unite Korea. Thus, an endless war is initiated based on mistakes, miscalculations, and misunderstandings that began with major losses for the South.

今集，伊朗及沙特阿拉伯的纷争将进一步升温，他们各自将其势力扩展至周边国家，令中东陷入宗派战争。伊朗将其势力，从伊拉克延伸至叙利亚和黎巴嫩。沙特阿拉伯就在也门展示力量，在区内导致惨痛的人命伤亡。

Part two of this special series about how two rivals have plunged the Middle East into sectarian war. While Iran extends its power from Iraq into Syria and Lebanon, Saudi Arabia is making a stand in Yemen, with deadly consequences for the region.

It draws on scores of interviews with political, religious and military leaders, militia commanders, diplomats, and policy experts, painting American television’s most comprehensive picture of a feud that has reshaped the Middle East.  

巨型地下迷宫

东京现时有13条地铁路线，每日服务1000万名乘客，成为东京的主要干道。东京的铁路网络长达300公里，共有285个站，贯穿整个东京市中心。这个地下迷宫，除了地铁之外，亦架设了电力、天然气、下水道和通信电缆等基础设施。假如将东京所有地下隧道和电缆全部连接起来，长度足以围绕地球三个圈。随着2020东京奥运举行在即，东京这个弹丸之地需要进行大革新，地下世界将会成为发展的最大动力。日本当局正兴建新的地下铁站: 虎之门之丘站，以便连接日后设有多个奥运设施的东京湾区。但由于东京近海，地下水多，土质松软，开拓地下世界遇到不少的阻力。今集将会带大家前往平时鲜为人知的地下迷宫，直击地下大改造的最前线。

The Underground - an Expanding Labyrinth

Tokyo's underground is said to be the most densely-packed in the world. Its tunnels house 13 subways, electric cables, gas, water, telecommunications, and more. Connected end-to-end, they would go around the Earth three times. For a city as crowded as Tokyo, the underground is the final frontier. With 2020 approaching, this subterranean world is set to expand even further with the construction of new subway stations and disaster-prevention tunnels. This episode follows this colossal but little known project to transform Tokyo's underground, highlighting the problems unique to the city, including its abundant groundwater.
