BBC News | From Our Own Correspondent | Pol Pot remembered (#)
„always in the quietest of tones"Elizabeth Becker of the New York Times, author of 'When the War is Over', is one of the few westerners ever to have met Pol Pot. She sent this personal report to the BBC's 'From Our Own Correspondent': It has been 18 years since I met him at the height of his power and even though my interview lasted little more than a few hours, it was long enough to give me a touchstone that I have used ever since, to help me figure out what Pol Pot may be up to, how and why he could evade and bully his way out of one trap after another, and whether the belated efforts to capture him might work. It was 22 December 1978, a cool sunny afternoon in Phnom Penh, the last day of a unique two week trip to Democratic Kampuchea. The Khmer Rouge had only invited select communist journalists to their country before my trip and - with the exception of the film produced by a gifted Yugoslav television crew - little had been revealed by those communists.“

BBC - BBC Films - My Summer Of Love
„A long, hot English summer creeps up on the emotions of two 16-year-old girls, who live in the same Yorkshire village but are really a world apart. Mona has had a tough time growing up, but has a wit and intelligence which combine to make her yearn for something beyond the daily grind. Tamsin is rich and spoilt and seems to offer an open door to a life of exotic fascination. This new friendship becomes all consuming and they plan to run away, but as the summer draws to a close it becomes clear that their passion will take a different and darker path.“

BBC News | AMERICAS | New York luring back visitors
„"Half of our group cancelled," said Ida Crist from Idaho, "I feel apprehensive but at least I made it." Restaurants suffering As well as going to the theatre, New Yorkers are also being urged to eat out at restaurants to help kick start shattered businesses. What's the point of attracting people if they can't get in Bruno Fairbairn, Coffee bar manager Some of the city's best eating places are offering dinner for a cut-price $30 but this will not do much for smaller establishments near Ground Zero. The main entrance to Timothy's coffee bar on Pine Street, in the heart of the financial district, is blocked by scaffolding. The only way in is through a side door past a security check-point where you have to show an identity card - not exactly the best way to encourage new customers to sample a cafe latte.“
