Anita Rani and Justin Rowlatt continue their epic car journeys across China, heading for their final destination, the financial mega-city of Shanghai. Along the way, they navigate congested cities and winding mountain roads to explore how the country's economic growth, symbolised by its booming car industry, is affecting people's lives.
On her route through the industrialised east, Anita visits some of the country's most sophisticated and luxurious cities. In Qingdao, she discovers a little piece of the Loire Valley: a Chinese wine chateau with an accompanying vineyard. In Hangzhou, she joins a couple on their wedding day, complete with a luxury car fleet, and finds out how weddings have changed since the couple's grandparents were married in the 1960s.
Meanwhile, Justin continues his epic journey through the poor, remote Chinese countryside in his loaf-shaped bread van. He bumps rather precariously up the potholed Aizhai Highway, one of China's most dangerous roads, and visits the brand new engineering marvel of the Aizhai Bridge. He explores the life of farmers from the Miao ethnic minority deep in the Hunan countryside, and tries to get to the bottom of Mao Zedong's legacy in contemporary China.
On the final leg of their journey across China, Anita and Justin discover a country that has developed rapidly, raising millions out of poverty, but which faces important challenges: a lack of healthcare and support for the vulnerable, pollution, and growing inequality.

Travelling across three continents, Justin Rowlatt investigates the spread of Chinese influence around the planet and asks what the world will be like if China overtakes America as the world's economic superpower. In the first of two films, he embarks on a journey across Southern Africa to chart the extraordinary phenomenon of Chinese migration to Africa, and the huge influence of China on the development of the continent.
While many in the West view Africa as a land of poverty, to the Chinese it is seen as an almost limitless business opportunity. From Angola to Tanzania, Justin meets the fearless Chinese entrepreneurs who have travelled thousands of miles to set up businesses.

Diamonds are big business - the retail trade is worth over $30bn annually. But many of the stones are dubious in origin, coming from African countries immersed in civil wars. They are known as 'blood diamonds' - sold by rebels and governments to fund their military campaigns. Sierra Leone once exported millions of dollars worth of gems every year. Most of them were smuggled, sold by the Revolutionary United Front (RUF). Today, a certification scheme - displaying each gem's place of origin - is supposed to prevent such illegal traffic. But does it work? Meanwhile the country's civilians, most of whom have never set eyes on a diamond, are caught in the crossfire.

Six months ago the headless body of an American missionary was found in Kenya's majestic Rift Valley. A shotgun lay by his side. Suicide perhaps? Or was it murder? Father John Kaiser had been investigating allegations of murder, rape and corruption at the heart of the Kenyan government. Andrew Harding takes a chilling look at a side of modern Kenya far removed from the natural beauty and wildlife that tourists see.

In June 2000, 58 Chinese nationals were discovered in a truck at Dover Ferry Port in the UK. Packed like cattle in a container with no air, food or water, they suffocated to death. An estimated 100,000 Chinese people entrust their lives to human smugglers or 'Snakeheads' every year. For huge fees, they are promised a new life in the West. Correspondent traces the business of human smuggling to its source - Fujian, China. Through unprecedented access to the police and the government, the film shows Beijing's fight against the smugglers and reveals the on-going torment of the families caught-up in the Dover disaster.

Thirty years ago, as the first Arab woman to speak out against female circumcision, Egyptian feminist Nawal El Sadaawi lost her job as Director of Public Health. In 1981, she was imprisoned for criticising Sadat's regime. Her name appeared on a fundamentalist death list and both she and her husband were forced into exile. Now, having voiced the common knowledge that the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, the Hajj, has pagan roots, she has been accused of insulting Islam. For this, she could be forcibly divorced from her husband and face a three-year prison term. We talk to 70-year-old Nawal about her life's struggle for the freedom to criticise Islam from within.
