2The Fix An experimental technique for weaning addicts off drugs. Correspondent: Richard Carleton Producer: Cliff Neville Heroin is one of the most powerful and addictive drugs. While people glamorize the drug and crave 'The Fix' it provides, ironically the country where drugs are commonplace is becoming a world leader in the fight against drugs. Sweden has a new weapon in the fight against drugs. The police target young addicts or children experimenting with drugs and, if caught, they can be sent to the rehabilitation centre called Hassela. Here 'students' are showered with kindness and discipline. They claim that this approach results in 85 percent of students still being drug-free five years after leaving the program. Richard Carleton reports on the phenomenal success of this programme, and meets an Australian woman who went to Sweden in a last ditch attempt to overcome her crippling addiction to heroin and live a fulfilling drug-free life.

3Gross National Happiness National happiness - the people of Bhutan are trying to create a culture of happiness by pursuing what the West is doing right, but rejecting our cynicism and consumerism. Correspondent: Morley Safer While countries fret over GST, and governments worry about GDP and GNP, there is a fairytale kingdom that exists - gloriously isolated from the rest of the world in its economic woes. High in the Himalayas there's a tiny oasis of serenity tucked in between the two most populist nations on Earth - China and India. Happiness is enshrined in law - and the country's wealth is measured in 'Gross National Happiness'. With a population of 600,000, Bhutan has managed to keep the outside workload at bay, and until now has also avoided a powerful global intruder - television. Morley Safer takes us on a journey to Bhutan, the land of Gross National Happiness, where he says it's like being on the roof of the world - with Everest as your neighbour, and finds out why they now feel they are prepared and ready for television to be a part of their environment.
