This week's International Dateline features three stories:

Courting Trouble in Karachi

When Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf moved in March to suspend the country's chief justice he clearly didn't bargain on the result - a revolt by lawyers and a massive public show of support for the judge that's become the biggest challenge to the dictator since he took power in a bloodless coup in 1999. Dateline's Nick Lazaredes is just back from Karachi where this national confrontation turned deadly. And a warning, viewers may find some footage disturbing.

Off Side in Israel

As we have come to expect, unfortunately, the Middle East has been anything but peaceful of late. In Lebanon, Arabs have been fighting Arabs, in Gaza, Hamas and Fatah have announced yet another shaky cease-fire, and of course, the struggle between the Israelis and Palestinians is never-ending. Invariably, these are the conflicts that grab the headlines. But, few realise there's another dimension to the struggle between Arab and Jew, this one within Israel itself. Surprisingly, one in five Israelis are Arabs, descendents of the Palestinians who did not flee with the founding of Israel back in 1948. That 20% of the population says it's discriminated against by the Jewish state. To see this internal conflict for herself, Dateline reporter Sophie McNeil travelled to Israel.

Will Hutton Interview

George Negus speaks from London with the former editor-in-chief of the Observer newspaper, Will Hutton, about China's delicate balance between Communism and Capitalism. The British economist and journalist doubts that the Chinese economic boom can continue and says the Communist Party must loosen its grip on the state even further.

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.
