The story of britains biggest nuclear disaster
World of unreported stories
The gun The first invention covered in the series has generally had a negative press – the gun. The need for a more accurate cannon led James Wilkinson, in 1774, to invent a tube boring machine. This was then used by James Watt to make more efficient steam engines, which in turn powered the industrial revolution. Gun maker Sam Colt was not only the inventor of the first reliable revolver, which helped early settlers to defeat the Indians and led to the myth of the cowboy, but also invented a new method of manufacturing guns – the production line. Henry Ford made his Model T car affordable by copying, 'the Colt method'.Even the car exhaust pipe was a spin-off of the gun silencer. Street lighting was introduced to deter armed highway robbers whilst trauma medicine and the control of infections were initially developed to deal with gun injuries.

BBC - Undercover in Tibet (why the tension at the Beijing Olympics)
http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/dispatches/undercover+in+tibet/1824047 As Tibetan protesters take to the streets in the biggest and most bloody challenge to Chinese rule in nearly 20 years, Dispatches reports on the hidden reality of life under Chinese occupation. As Tibetan protesters take to the streets in the biggest and most bloody challenge to Chinese rule in nearly 20 years, Dispatches reports on the hidden reality of life under Chinese occupation after spending three months undercover, deep inside the region. Dozens are feared dead after the recent clashes and crackdown by Chinese troops, but with reporting so rigidly controlled from the region little is known of living conditions inside Tibet.
The television In Europe we have more television sets than children and spend an average of nine years of our lives watching them.Yet its inventors, two men with wildly different visions, died unrewarded.This is the remarkable story of John Logie Baird, a Scotsman whose only previous successful invention was the thermal under-sock, and Philo T Farnsworth, a Mormon boy who at the age of 14 drew on a blackboard the outlines of an electronic television camera.The first public television broadcaster was the Nazi party, not the BBC, but though Hitler recognised its propaganda potential, he missed its real value: television would help win the Battle of Britain, not because of what was on it but what was in it.From terrorist outrages to soap operas, from obesity to politics, Jeremy gives his own unique take on how television has changed our world.
