This week on Dateline, Ginny Stein heads up river into the heart of Borneo, an area once plundered by illegal loggers. Now the government says this is the clean green future, vast areas cleared for palm oil plantations.

But environmentalists say this new plan is simply plunder by another name. 

This segment is followed by an interview with the former head of the CIA's Al Qaeda unit, Michael Scheur, and an investigation into Tamil-Australians and their relatives being kidnapped in Sri Lanka.

About International Dateline 

SBS Dateline, which began in 1984, is Australia's longest-running international current affairs program. It has a well-earned reputation for authoritative and incisive reporting. Dateline has taken the traditional way of producing TV current affairs and turned it on its head. Reporters who used to travel with a cameraperson and sound recordist now travel alone and have the responsibility of both filming and reporting their stories. The reporters became video-journalists, gaining access to people and places that the conventional camera crews cannot.
