Human stories from behind the global headlines. With George Arney.

On today's programme: Tblisi 20 years on; celebrity status; and the BBC's Ethical Man.

Tom Esslement reports on the massacre which took place in the Georgian capital Tbilisi 20 years ago this week when 20 people were beaten to death with truncheons and shovels by Soviet Red Army soldiers. Opposition rallies are planned in Georgia this week to coincide with the anniversary of the massacre.

Showbiz writer, Marina Hyde, tells Outlook's George Arney why she believes today's celebrities are far too interested in saving the world - formulating aid policy, touring war zones and acting as UN goodwill ambassadors.

BBC reporter Justin Rowlatt, also known as the BBC's 'Ethical Man' because of his reports on climate change, tells us about his travels to America. His task? To take only public transport throughout the United States and quiz Americans about the pressing issue of global warming.
