John Sweeney reports on the trade in human traffic across the Strait of Malacca, between Malaysia and Sumatra. Asia's economic crisis has caused several thousand immigrant workers to be deported from Malaysia, some of whom face persecution in Indonesia, while thousands of Indonesians are trying to escape the oppressive regime of President Suharto. Kevin Connolly investigates a successful new version of "care in the community" in the medieval French town of Ainay-le-Chateau, whereby residents are paid to share their homes with the mentally ill. And, from Rosh Ha'ayin in Israel, David Sells unravels the bizarre story of hundreds of babies who were stolen during the state's founding 50 years ago.
