Parades and Ponytails

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

Pascale Harter introduces correspondents from around the world. Chris Buckler witnesses the summer tensions of the marching season in Northern Ireland. He finds that the Unionists are feeling increasingly marginalised and that they think the media are not sufficiently covering their side of the story. And Irene Caselli explores the latest trend in Venezuela's crime industry - stealing women's hair. The longer the better! Caselli thinks that this story hitting the newspapers in Maracaibo, illustrates a wider Venezuelan neurosis - with beauty and with crime.
