Arizona: Citizen Patrols on America's Southern Border - World Report cameras are along the Arizona border with Mexico, where Project Minute Man is underway. Citizen volunteers have come to the border state to "help" authorities stop illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States. Critics contend the volunteers cause more problems than those they potentially help to solve.
 
Tonight at 8pm ET:

Venice - Time and Tide Threaten an Eternal City - World Report cameras are in Venice, where the artistic and architecturally renowned city faces a serious threat from the sea. The water that brings Venice its unique place in the world is now threatening to overcome the city and its treasures.
 
Bolivia - Precious Metals, Early Death - World Report cameras are in Bolivia, delving deeply into the mines where many residents make their living. The health risks are high, but for many it is the only way to earn money. The key question is: how many generations are doomed to repeat this cycle of poverty and early death?
 
Very sad and powerful report. Sometimes we ignore how lucky we are to have a choice when people in other parts of the world have none.
 
Bolivia - Issues for the Indigenous
HDNet cameras are in Bolivia where rights for the indigenous majority of the population is a key issue in national politics. Though native residents make up a substantial majority, they are not in power in this land where unpopular governments fall very quickly.

This was quite a good report. Again stop by and watch some of these reports they are quite enlightening.
