A daily, midday, news package which featured an in depth interview about a current news topic. Viewers could phone in and ask questions of the key interviewee.

  • 1Antarctica Antarctica has always been regarded as a place of danger and mystery, which man has thus far failed to either tame or exploit. It is also a wildlife wilderness, where animal life exists beyond the reach of human predators. However, increasingly there have been occasions where private expeditions to Antarctica have been told they are not welcome. The legendary hospitality and camaraderie of Antarctica was dented. What is there to hide? Are the French still planning to build an airstrip? How are the Americans using technology on the continent? The 1959 Antarctic Treaty sets the continent aside fro research purposes only, and specifically bans military activity and rules out territorial claims. But how can the seven nations already on the ice be prevented from exploiting Antarctica's mineral wealth should they choose to do so? Discussion and talkback with Peter Wilkinson, a Greenpeace spokesman, who led the expedition to the Antarctic.
