NEXT PANORAMA - SAVE OUR STEEL - MONDAY 8.30PM ON BBC ONE

Hello there,

THE TORTURE FILES

Monday's programme asked some difficult questions about the Bush administration's assertion that torture did not happen on its watch.

Reporter Hilary Andersson followed the paper trail of who gave the green light for the use of techniques including water-boarding in the interrogation of al-Qaeda suspects.

Speaking to a former detainee who was released without charge and a former CIA agent, Panorama investigated the approved technique and asked who, if anyone, should end up in the dock.

If you missed the programme you can catch it on the BBC iPlayer.

There's more information on the Panorama website including
an interview with a former detainee, and the now declassified documents from the Bush era.

TATA TO STEEL

In a week that has seen reports of a
record rise in UK unemployment figures, Panorama follows three people for whom threatened job losses are very real.

Port Talbot is the heart of the steelmaking industry in Wales, but with the price of steel plummeting and the company, Corus, losing £1 million a day, the entire town is facing an uncertain future.

The consequences of closing the site stretch beyond just the 4,000 people working there.

The local community is built around steelmaking which has been in the town for over 100 years. Now the decision about its future lies in the hands of the parent company Tata, with headquarters in India.

We follow Stephen, a fourth generation steel worker, Tony a welder of 15 years who has just lost his job, and Belinda a local community centre worker, as they make their case for saving their plant.

It is a journey that takes them from Wales to Westminster and onto Mumbai, but will they get the answers they are seeking?

Save Our Steel is on BBC One, Monday 20 July at 8.30pm.

That's all for this week but you can keep up to date with Panorama on our website.
