• Video Pitch300 rabbis urging Jews to not rent/sell land to Muslims

  •  Israel

  This week 300 major rabbis published a letter calling Israeli Jews to not rent/sell apartments to Muslims.
  They announced that leasing land to Muslims is blasphemous and that anyone violating the ban may be ostracized.
  The Rabbis' letter as been condemned by The Holocaust Survivors in Israel Organization, who said it reminded them of life under Nazi regime.
  My report will be on the growing anti-Islam sentiments in Israel, and on Israelis who experienced discrimination raising their voice against it.

    In February, the official lifespan of the coalition government of bitter rivals President Mugabe and Prime minister Tsvangirai comes to an end. Although an extention of at most 6 months has been granted the bottom line is elections will be held this year. Is the country ready for this? Will the economy survive, what lies in the future for Zimbabwe? These are some of the issues my report will try to shed light on.

• Video PitchGold

  •  Thailand

  Isaan, northern Thailand, an area of natural beauty but now the land and water is poisoned by cyanide and arsenic. The source is a gold mining site operated by the Thai company Tungkum ltd, 98% of whose shareholders are Australian company Tongkah Harbour. Villagers near the mine suffer cyanide poisoning, loss of livlihood and an lack of clean water. It is a worrying time as the Thai government gets ready to sign off on multiple other gold mining contracts. We follow the Action group, largely women, set up to dig out the truth and protect their homes, their children and their human rights.
