The illegal logging trade in Romania, where a so-called timber mafia is chopping down Europe's last remaining virgin forests. Reporter Amelia Jenne follows the conservationists risking their lives to stop the corruption that's destroying the lungs of Europe. Environmental campaigners and law enforcement believe that half of the timber harvested in Romania is illegal. The European Union has launched legal action against the Romanian government, which continues to authorise logging in protected areas that are rich in wildlife and vital in the fight against climate change.
The Korean Wave is taking the world by storm, and Korean Pop, or K-pop, is at the forefront. Krishnan Guru-Murthy goes inside South Korea's K-pop dance schools, investigating the hidden cost of becoming the next big idol. He learns how teenagers are crafted to be idols with relentless training regimes, scripted answers and picture-perfect looks, though just one per cent will 'make it big'.
Drug seizures across Spain are on the rise, with more than 90 million tonnes seized last year. Most is found in shipping containers and ports, but in the coastal region of Galicia, Guillermo Galdos discovers a network of seasoned smugglers operating under the police's radar. As cocaine production surges in Latin America, authorities in Spain are increasingly on the lookout for small so-called 'narco-subs' - home-made contraptions, each capable of carrying tonnes of cocaine across the Atlantic to Europe.
As the world's largest exporter of corn and soy, Brazil is an agricultural powerhouse, yet just one per cent of the population owns almost half the land. The uneven distribution of land is felt hardest by the country's working poor, and despite its natural riches, over a quarter of Brazil's households are considered food insecure. In a nation with a history of land disputes turning deadly, reporter Symeon Brown tracks down communist activists who are taking land from the rich to give to the poor as well as a landowner and founding member of a movement intent on defending private property.
Madeeha Syed heads to Pakistan to meet the young female hip-hop artists trying to thrive in what were once Karachi's most deadly neighbourhoods. A generation of young rappers are turning away from the gangs, capitalising on the area's relative calm. However, embracing western-inspired music isn't without its risks as many performers have to juggle the politics of their conservative neighbourhood, the requirements of family and religious opposition to their chosen profession.
