As US envoy George Mitchell talks to Syrian leaders, we ask a former Irish prime minister if the Senator can revive the peace process there as he did in Northern Ireland. A cyber attack on the Melbourne film festival by Chinese hackers enraged by the screening of a film about a Chinese Uighur leader. We interview the festival director. And a report from Havana on Revolution Day as Raul Castro leads the celebrations once dominated by his brother Fidel.
