Culture in Decline: What Democracy?
From
the creator of the zeitgeist
film series, Peter
Joseph, comes the worst reality show of all time: the real one.
This opening show addresses the coming 2012 US Presidential Election
and the subject of what we perceive as “Democracy” in the world
today.The well known advocate of the scientific thought Carl Sagan once invited the question: If we are visited by a superior species from another part of the galaxy and forced to explain to them our stewardship of our planet, not to mention the state of the human affairs today, would we be proud of what we describe?
How do we frame our explanation that almost half of the world, over 3 billion people, are either barely surviving in abject poverty and sickness, or are simply dying off unnecessarily at a rate of about one person every couple of seconds, all occurring in the wake of an advanced technological realities.

Nederland telt in EU meeste vrouwelijke gedetineerden
© ANP. Vrouwengevangenis Ter
Peel in Evertsoord.
Nederland
heeft het hoogste percentage vrouwelijke gedetineerden van alle
landen in de Europese Unie. Het Europees gemiddelde ligt op 4
procent van het totale aantal gevangenen, maar in Nederland is dat
percentage de afgelopen 10 jaar verdubbeld naar 8,7 procent. Dat
blijkt uit een onderzoeksrapport naar het Nederlands detentiewezen
van de EU-organisatie CPT, dat vandaag wordt gepubliceerd.
'Op
de luchthaven Schiphol worden veel vrouwelijke drugskoeriers
aangehouden', verklaart een woordvoerder van justitie het hoge
percentage. 'Dat is een vorm van criminaliteit waar de andere
Europese landen nauwelijks last van hebben.' Tegelijkertijd daalt
het aantal mannelijke gedetineerden doordat de zware criminaliteit
is gedaald, en daarin zijn mannen oververtegenwoordigd.

Iraq: After the Americans
Correspondent
Sebastian Walker first went to Baghdad in June 2003 and spent the
next several years reporting un-embedded from Iraq.In the first part of this Fault Lines series, he returns and travels from Basra to Baghdad to find out what kind of future Iraqis are forging for themselves.
Now that US troops have left, how are Iraqis overcoming the legacy of violence and toxic remains of the US-led occupation, and the sectarian war it ignited? Is the country on the brink of irreparable fragmentation?
After almost a decade the US war in Iraq is over. A new balance of power has emerged, but many people are living in precarity.
