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.

The deportation, mass murder and torture of Europe’s gypsies during the Nazi regime have been largely forgotten. In France, the segregation and internment of 30,000 gypsies predated the German Occupation and more than 250,000 gypsies in Europe were deported to ghettos and concentration camps. Testimony from survivors of Auschwitz and other camps reveals how the Nazis planned the systematic genocide of the gypsy race.

This is the true, and often shocking, story of the modern world at war; a revealing portrayal of the people who fight for their land, their religion and their ideas, and sometimes, just their survival. Following individual fighters in 16 wars over the same 24-hour period, top observational cameramen and directors document the stories of a range of fighters, from child soldiers to women commandos, from UN peacekeepers to army conscripts, in conflicts from Burma to Sudan, Laos to Colombia, cutting between characters as the day unfolds. This is a film about individuals: their reasons for fighting, their hopes for the future and the fear, excitement, and often banality of life in a war zone.
