Worldfocus  

“Worldfocus” – the nightly newscast syndicated to television stations nationwide – delivers in-depth international news that American audiences would be hard-pressed to find on commercial broadcast networks. The 30 minute program moves beyond crisis reporting to explore the connections between issues unfolding abroad and developments in the U.S. Hosted by veteran news correspondent Martin Savidge and produced by Creative News Group for PBS flagship station Thirteen/WNET, “Worldfocus” was launched in October 2008. The newscast’s companion BlogTalkRadio series, “Worldfocus Radio,” launched January 13, 2008. Also hosted by Savidge, the live, weekly half-hour series goes even further in-depth into stories covered on “Worldfocus,” while opening up the conversation, via phone calls and text chats, to people throughout the globe.

    The North Korean economy is one of the most isolated on earth and still relies on heavy industry and military spending — in addition to huge amounts of food and fuel aid. Experts on the Hermit Kingdom base their understanding on a mix of theories, scattered anecdotes from defectors — and scant hard facts. In terms of per capita GDP — $1,800 — North Korea is East Asia’s poorest country. But we know little about the country’s black markets. And we struggle to find accurate statistics on the nation’s true standard of living. Martin Savidge hosts Barbara Demick and Leon Sigal.

    Future of Caste in India

    Caste has existed in India for over 3 millennia, and many people view caste - in addition to curry and the Taj Mahal - as one of India’s defining features. With several thousand castes that each contain sub-castes and even smaller groups, the system varies according to geography and language. Martin Savidge will host Vivek Kumar and Corey Washington to discuss: caste discrimination, the reservation system, reverse casteism, Dalit political parties and the global anti-racism movement.

    Haiti and DR — Unequal Neighbors

    In the aftermath of last week’s earthquake in Haiti, the Dominican Republic has expressed solidarity with its neighbor. Though Haiti and the DR share the island of Hispaniola, their histories, cultures and economies greatly differ. Racial tensions, stateless children and immigrant violence have created tensions along the border. Martin Savidge hosts Marselha Gonçalves Margerin of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights and Michele Wucker of the World Policy Institute to discuss these unequal neighbors.

    Yemen's Multiple Wars

    Yemen has dominated the news recently, since U.S. authorities learned that the alleged Christmas Day bomber trained with al-Qaeda in Yemen. Mutallab purportedly has links to radical imam Anwar al-Awlaki, the cleric known to have contacted alleged Ft. Hood shooter Nidal Hassan. Martin Savidge will host Christopher Boucek and Sudarsan Raghavan. We’ll examine the situation with al-Qaeda in Yemen and then address additional angles of the shifting circumstances there. The show will analyze the background of three different ongoing conflicts: * al-Qaeda in Yemen (current activities, terror threat, government efforts) * Houthi rebels in North (independence goals, Iran v. Saudi, Shia minority) * South Yemen separatists (historical roots, central government weakness, clans)

    ‘The Stans’ in Transition

    ‘The Stans’ refer to the five post-Soviet Central Asian republics — Kazakhstan, Krygyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan — with similar historical, political and cultural roots. ‘The Stans’ are protecting their cultural identity by proposing ethnic language policies — potentially banning the use of the Russian language. In Kyrgyzstan, there’s a proposal to make Kyrgyz the official language of diplomacy and in Tajikistan, there’s another to ban the use of Russian in public institutions and official documents. We’ll examine relationships with post-Soviet Russia, and how China and the United States are vying for ‘The Stans.’ This week, Chinese President Hu Jintao opened a new gas pipeline that extends from Turkmenistan to north-west China — the first without Russia’s Gazprom. Martin Savidge hosts William Fierman, a professor of Central Asian studies at Indiana University, and Nikolai Petrov, a scholar at The Carnegie Moscow Center.

    Red China Goes Green

    This week, world leaders from almost 200 countries are meeting to discuss the future of our planet. From Tonga and Mauritius to Japan and Brazil, the community of nations hopes to enact lasting change. While a host of difficult decisions often scare business leaders, voters and politicians, global pressure continues to mount. China and India, as well as the U.S. and E.U., have already committed to significant cuts in the release of harmful greenhouse gases. Will China accept lower growth, stricter rules and higher energy costs that could result? While virtually no one in China denies climate change, debate focuses on the speed of the shift to renewable energy. We want to take a closer look at how China is developing alternative energy as part of its rapid greening.

    Chile's Growing Pains

    Chile’s economic “miracle” has lifted many Chileans from poverty and become a fiscal model for Latin America. Since the 1980s, Chile’s has halved the number of people below the poverty line. But while the middle class grows, the divide between rich and poor deepens. Moreover, middle-class Chileans are under more stress and working longer hours than before. Martin Savidge hosts Peter Winn and Victoria Hurtado to discuss the underside of Chile’s prosperity, focusing on the middle class, growing inequality and the younger generation.
