A current affairs programme which provides an insight into how real people are affected by developments in the news, through story-telling accounts and perspectives. It follows news breaking events and also issues off the main news agenda, covering views in different countries in Asia and beyond. This episode takes a look at the world of terrorism. Five years after 911 and a year after London blast, the battle to keep terrorism under control continues. The first line of protection is the international border where profiling is commonly practised to spot possible terror suspects. In the United Kingdom, profiling has led to the arrest of 800 people suspected of beiing involved in terror activities, but only 3 have been convicted so far. So how useful is profiling and is it lending itself to the cause of radicals who turn ordinary people into suicide bombers.

This programme provides a detailed survey of the world's 193 nations. It contains physical and political world maps and information (including video and photographs) and statistics for each country, covering economic, political and social aspects. A comparison among countries can be made.
