This International Dateline episode includes three segments: The Road from Damascus, Mikhail Gorbachev Part II, and Fake Medicine – Africa's Scourge.
The Road from Damascus
Dateline's Nick Lazaredes is in Damascus to gauge the popular Syrian support for Lebanon and Hezbollah. Israel's bombs may have stirred up a hornet's nest of anti-Israeli sentiment amongst Syria's Muslim and Christian population. Nick travelled to the border to talk to the victims and doctors treating the Syrian victims and a steady flow of Lebanese casualties. He finds that politically, there is support for Syria's return to Lebanon and the army is on high alert.
Mikhail Gorbachev Part II
In the second part of Dateline's interview with Mikhail Sergeyavich Gorbachev, he talks candidly about his legacy, successes and failures, global politics and world leaders.
Cuba: A Clean Bill of Health
For almost half a century now Cuba has endured crippling economic and trade sanctions imposed by the United States government. But not only has this tiny Caribbean country survived, it's achieved close to the unthinkable. Over the years of its isolation, Cuba has made major medical breakthroughs and now has a health system that's the envy of most of its neighbors.
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.
