Buckle up for a journey into the fascinating secret world of the car factory in this brand new three part series. James May goes behind the scenes to reveal the science, engineering and people that keep us all on the road, with access all areas to the MINI plant in Oxford where a car is built every 68 seconds. Building Cars will also step outside the factory to explore the evolution of global mass production, bust the myth that British manufacturing is dead and see how design becomes reality. Over three episodes James and the team discover exactly how a car is born. Real cars, real people and real time - a real television event. In the first episode, James makes friends with an army of diligent robots and busts the myth that British manufacturing is dead. Kate heads to Norway to discover why the electric car is king of the Norwegian road and Ant explores the history and heritage of one of the most iconic cars ever built. With access all areas live on the factory floor, the team will see exactly how a car is born - a car that tomorrow will be driven off the line ready for life on the open road.

An estimated half a million women are being transported to Western Europe by sex traffickers every year. It's a multi-million pound business where, for the traffickers, the rewards are high and the risks are low. But, for the girls, the consequences are brutal and potentially dangerous. Following a route which begins in the former Soviet Republic of Latvia and leads to Denmark, Ireland and the UK, Sue Lloyd-Roberts uncovers a murky, cruel world in which employment agencies seduce young women with false promises, unscrupulous pimps abuse them and the police and judiciary turn a blind eye to this contemporary form of slavery.

NATO has a problem on its hands. It is called Kosovo. Two years ago, in response to the mass ethnic cleansing of Kosovo Albanians, NATO bombed Yugoslavia for 78 days forcing Milosevic into retreat. The results of this bombing - a dangerous power vacuum in Kosovo itself, with Albanian nationalism spilling over viciously into neighbouring Macedonia and Southern Serbia; not to mention the plight of Kosovo's own Serbian minority after two years as victims of murder and mayhem. It seems the boot is firmly on the other foot. Has NATO perhaps been a touch naive?

How do the Israeli military decide when to take a Palestinian terrorist alive, and when to kill him? Granted rare access to the Israeli military machine, Correspondent follows two Israeli commando units to reveal the criteria they work by. Often it's a matter of a few miles and a few hours between the terrorist cell - the engineer, organiser, suicide bomber - and the targeted Israeli town. Israelis call such targets 'ticking bombs', and they are the highest priority. The rest of the world may debate whether military operations slow down the cycle of violence or just cause more bloodshed; the Israeli military don't have the time.
