Eternal beauty

No other totalitarian regime is as closely associated with an artistic movement as Hitler's Nazis. From the towering architecture of Albert Speer to the films of Leni Riefenstahl, art fed into and shaped Nazi ideals; reflecting back a world where good battled evil and the strong Aryan always triumphed. Through art the Nazis created a world as illusionary as it was enticing. A world of eternal beauty. This unique documentary looks at the history of the Third Reich through its own images.

Jihad TV

Videos of smiling suicide bombers and insurgent attacks have become as important a weapon as explosives in Al Qaeda's global jihad against the West. The jihadis have seized on the power of the internet and their message cannot be silenced. But who actually watches these videos and what effect are they having on young people in the Muslim world?

Alon Bernstein is an Israeli who works as a freelance news cameraman for broadcasters including the Associated Press.

In the interim, the situation has degenerated into a real war - a war in which cameramen are injured and killed. Primetime War II focussed more closely on the day-to-day newsgathering process. ...

The shape of the future

One weekend, in an unprecedented simultaneous broadcast across the Middle East, four channels including Israeli TV aired a series examining how the key Israeli-Palestinian issues might be resolved. "Shape of the Future" portrayed on a very human level what an eventual Palestinian-Israeli peace settlement might look like. The emphasis was on the future, rather than the cyclical violence. With a budget of $1.8 million, it's a high quality and unique programme.

TV Iraqi style

For over 20 years, Iraqi TV was dominated by one familiar, heavily moustached face. But since Iraq's number one celebrity got evicted, Baghdad has become a hive of TV wannabes. Gone are the propaganda films of old - replaced with programmes like "Iraqi Pop Idol" or "Labour and Materials", a property makeover show which redesigns bombed homes. And thanks to night curfews and a population too frightened to leave their houses, viewing figures are booming.
