Portugal, DR Congo, Lebanon and Christmas Island

Available for over a year

Emma Jane Kirby meets the Portuguese youth who resent having to leave their lives and families in search of employment. She visits a visa agency in Porto and finds out that in the first five months of this year, demand for visas has gone up by 60%. And, it's not just casual work - unemployed engineers, architects and teachers are all applying to leave the country. Johnny Hogg finds a degrading sex industry and pervasive crime affecting both the homeless and the prosperous of Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Diana Darke has a rendez-vous in Lebanon with the caretaker of her house in Damascus, who risks life and limb to collect much-needed hard currency. Plus, John Pickford visits Christmas Island - now inhabited by ten thousand residents and tens of thousands of sooty terns - in search of traces of the former testing sites of the British atom bomb.
