This International Dateline episode includes three segments: Germany's New Power, Klaus Wowereit Interview, and Pakistan - Doing it for Allah.
Germany's New Power
Germany has gone further than anyone in encouraging renewable energy – solar, hydro, wind among others – but at what cost? And what can we learn from the German experience? Dateline spent time with Dr. Hermann Scheer, the father of Germany's renewable energy revolution, to discuss his country's search for a clean source of energy.
Klaus Wowereit Interview
The 51-year-old mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit, is one of this country's most influential politicians. Dateline sat down with Berlin's powerful Beurgermeister to talk about the trials and tribulations of being mayor at such an exhilerating time.
Pakistan - Doing it for Allah
After the devastating earthquake in the Kashmir region of Pakistan hit on October 8, 2005, killing over 80,000 people, a myriad of organizations from across the world rushed to the scene of the disaster to help with the harrowing relief effort. Among these many organizations was Jamaatud Dawa, an Islamic NGO. But this relief organization was not all that it seemed. The organization was formerly known as Lashkar e-Taiba, a banned group on the U.S., Australian, and Pakistani terrorist list. Dateline's Ginny Stein investigates Jamaatud Dawa's relief effort along with its potentially sinister recruitment drive.
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.
