Living In Our Vans - USA August 2008 Since the beginning of the mortgage crisis one and a half million Americans have lost their homes. With banks repossessing their houses, many have been left no other option than to move into their cars. The streets of California are now filled with people who call their car their home. Jennifer Clement, explains, "The estimated value of our house went to 120,000 U.S. dollars within a month. After losing all the money, we literally landed on the street and were forced to live in our caravan". It is a vicious circle: Without a job - no home. Without an apartment - no job.

Clown Prince - Italy August 2008 Meet Beppe Grillo, or 'the crown prince of Italian politics'. Disenchanted by decades of corrupt politicians, a porous economy, the mafia and thousands of tonnes of rubbish, Grillo is using humour to shape up Naples. "Our weapons have been to ask for signatures! Our main weapon is to grab them by the arse!" Grillo's petition for individuals to compete in elections gained a million signatures. He even launched "V Day" with V standing for "Vaffanculo" or "fuck off". But with political parties dictating the media, how did he do it? "With the web, you can make miracles." Grillo uses his web blog to discuss the corruption implicit in Italian politics. Yet despite widespread backing, the old regime remains, "Italians have short memories a little longer than goldfish". This may explain the re-election of extravagant billionaire Prime Minister Berlusconi or as Grillo says, "the dwarf with asphalt hair."

China's Media Mogul - China August 2008 Wang Zhongjun is one of China's 415,000 millionaires and is head of Huayi Brothers -- a Chinese media empire. What does this former Communist Party member turned tycoon have to say about China's communist-capitalist paradox? In a world where these two political models were once polar opposites, Wang seems to have found a compromise. "I'm not sure if I'm a capitalist or a communist, I don't think people think much about 'ists' today. All we need to do is work hard to improve our lives and the lives of those around us," he muses in his glamourous Beijing home. Wang firmly believes the rich should be the first to be obligated to helping others. In China, an economic "superpower on steroids", state capital is rapidly being transformed into private wealth. Could entrepreneurs like Wang pave the way for a new socially responsible capitalist mindset in the country?

Burundi's Road To Recovery - Burundi August 2008 Burundi's President, Pierre Nkurunziza loves nothing more than taking to the soccer field. He uses these appearances, which inevitably draw large crowds, to push his message of peace and reconciliation. "We shouldn't hold back on attacking but we shouldn't hurt him," a coach tells his team who are about to play the Haleluya Football Club. The Halelyua team's star player and focus of the coach's remark is none other than Nkurunziza. Burundi's "Football President" believes that the great game can unite the tribal divisions that ravaged his nation. "Soccer in Burundi is very popular and when you come here you see all the people, even the old men, old women, come to watch. It is very important to unite the people." Until four years ago Nkurunziza was a rebel soldier waging a guerilla war against the Tutsi soldiers. In 2005 he was elected President under a deal to end the conflict between the Tutsi-dominated army and Hutu rebels. Finally a ceasefire seems to be holding. "We can publicly announce that we have ended the war. And the energy we were using to fight and to flee, will now be used to mend the hearts of the people of Burundi and to develop our country," exclaims Nkurunziza. The government has promised universal health care and free primary education. Yet in a nation where money is sparse, everyone is called in to help and the President is setting the example.
